ELECTION 2016: Economy not denting SaskParty poll numbers
Support for the Saskatchewan Party is largely unaffected by the province’s economic downturn, according to a veteran Saskatchewan pollster. Cam Cooper, principal for Praxis Analystics, presented his firm’s most recent findings Wednesday at a Battlefords Chamber of Commerce event.
“The campaign does matter, the candidates do matter, and things can change,” Cooper said.
“But if you look at the pattern over the four year period, despite whatever’s happened, there hasn’t been much shift in the numbers. They’ve stayed steady.”
The Saskatchewan Outlook survey, conducted in December of 2015, found residents rated the province’s economic performance at 3.27 out of five; down only slightly from 3.65 a year earlier.
