One in ten Lethbridge residents is currently undecided.

Provincially, when only considering party and not individual candidates, the study indicates the United Conservative Party leads in overall popular support at 44.4 per cent.

The UCP also leads in both Lethbridge West at 41.8 per cent, and Lethbridge East at 45.1 per cent.

The governing NDP is running second throughout the city with support from approximately one in every five voters (20.2%).

The provincial Liberals garner support from one of every ten Lethbridge voters (10.6%) while the Alberta Party garners half again that much support (4.8%).

A handful of voters are supporting other parties or candidates (6.2%) while approximately one in seven voters is currently undecided.
