"It's really quite amazing that two years in, she continues to enjoy a honeymoon," said Calgary-based pollster Janet Brown.
"We haven't seen a honeymoon last this long for a politician since the Ralph Klein days," Brown added.
Twenty-four months after Smith's United Conservative Party defeated Rachel Notley's Alberta New Democrats, the polling suggests the premier continues to hang on to the support that propelled her to a majority in 2023. Now, 52 per cent of decided and leaning Alberta voters say they'd cast a ballot for the UCP.
The poll suggests the UCP would cruise to a majority, winning 61 ridings, while the NDP could drop from the 38 seats it won in 2023 to 26 seats in the provincial legislature.
