SASKATCHEWAN LEADERS’ DEBATE

VIEWERS SAY WALL WON DEBATE

March 23rd, 2016 (Ottawa, ON) – A new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll finds Brad Wall won the Saskatchewan Leaders’ debate. The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.09%, 19 times out of 20.

All numbers contained in this report are for debate watchers only. These numbers are not for the general population.

“Brad Wall had a good night - 56% of Saskatchewan debate viewers say he won this night‘s debate” said Quito Maggi, President of Mainstreet Research. “While I found Cam Broten had a good debate the viewers did not agree. Only 32% declared him the winner.”

70% of Saskatchewan debate viewers expect the Saskatchewan party will win the election. More have a positive impression of Brad Wall than of Cam Broten.

“Mr. Broten came out of the debate with high negatives. Mr. Wall stayed cool throughout the debate which included a lot of cross-talk. While you could hear Mr. Broten more clearly during those segments it looks like this could have come across as too aggressive.”

“Debate watchers are voting for the Saskatchewan party but two numbers stand out. Among debate viewers there is a dead heat in Regina - that represents a real possibility for the NDP to pick up seats. Women are also much more likely to vote NDP than men among debate viewers. While the Saskatchewan party holds a wide lead among debate viewing men (40 points) they are in a dead heat with debate watching women, 41% to 40%,” finished Maggi.

“I recommend "Raiders of the Lost Campaign Arc," released Oct. 18, because it’s an interview with a pollster that everyone who follows politics should hear. Quito Maggi, of Mainstreet Public

Research, was the only pollster I saw call the Liberal majority with such confidence, a week before we voted.

Maggi also has the distinction of being the guy who predicted the BC Liberals would win in 2013, in defiance of the majority of the polls.

His technique involves picking a true bellwether riding and polling it thoroughly. His explanation for how he does it is well worth a listen and should be required research for anyone running a

political campaign.” - Shannon Rupp, The Tyee, November 4th, 2015
