Alberta polls

Provincial voting intention. Each poll is corrected for its firm's lean against the other firms, then weighted by recency and sample size.

Trend

The house-effect-corrected average over the past two years. The band around each line is the uncertainty on that average, which is the part worth reading: where two bands overlap, the order of those two parties is not established.

Weighted average

as of Nov 3, 2026
  • UCP45.1%
  • NDP44.6%
  • Progressive Tory4.1%
  • Liberal1.9%
  • Green1.4%
  • Other3.0%

Each firm counts once, through its latest poll. Weights combine a recency decay with a 30-day half-life and the poll's sample size, over a 90-day window: between elections Alberta is polled about once a month, by Léger more than anyone, so counting every poll would let the busiest firm set the average. Every poll reports the UCP and the NDP; the rest of the vote is averaged as one bloc and split among the Progressive Tories, the Liberals and the Greens by each one's share of it in the polls that name them, with the Republicans and the Wildrose parties left in Others. When fewer than three firms have published in the window, the average reaches back to the three most recent.

Since the 2023 election (46 polls)

A dash means the party was not offered as an option in that poll, which is different from polling at zero. Others includes the two Wildrose parties where a pollster names them, as the average counts them.

House effects

Each firm's final-week polls in 2019 and 2023 against the certified result, averaged within each election and then across them, shrunk toward zero when few elections support them.

Between elections, only each firm's lean relative to the others is applied. The error they share (every firm ran the UCP low in the final week of 2019 and 2023, by about two points after shrinkage) is added back once a campaign starts.

A positive figure means the firm's final polls ran that party high against the certified result, so the correction subtracts it. Alberta offers two elections on today's party system to calibrate against, so these are directional, not precise.
