Pollster Janet Brown "In the current survey, we've got 30% of people that are saying that they think Alberta would be better off if it separated."

"So we're not really seeing the proportion of Albertans who support separatism growing, but what we are seeing are the people who struggle strongly agree with that notion growing."

"So, you know, 30% is not a majority, but neither is it a number that you can scoff at and just disregard."

"We're coming up on the two year anniversary of the last Alberta provincial election and our polling shows that Danielle Smith has really maintained the coalition of voters that that allowed her to win the election two years ago."

"You know, she's got 52% of support."

"We haven't seen a politician with a honeymoon like this since the Ralph Klein days."
