The Wildrose, NDP and Progressive Conservatives remain locked in a tight three-way battle ahead of the May 5 Alberta election, according to a new poll.

The Mainstreet Technologies poll conducted Thursday shows the Wildrose Party still in the lead, with 32 per cent support among decided voters, although that is down three points since the company last polled on Monday.

The NDP is virtually tied for first, with 31 per cent, up one percentage point in support. The Tories are also up one point, to 26 per cent.

The Liberals under David Swann have grown four points to eight per cent support, while Alberta Party support remains unchanged at four per cent.

“It’s still impossible (to call) at this stage,” Mainstreet president Quito Maggi said Friday in an interview.

“It could really come down to who motivates their base the best, who mobilizes that base to get out to vote. So many seats that are within, five, eight, 10 points could be swung on that basis alone. I’m certainly not ready to predict who is going to be premier after May 5.”
