The poll was conducted between Dec. 10 and 19 and included a sample size of 1,077 randomly selected respondents. News release says this is considered to adequately represent the population with a margin of error of +/- 3%, 19 times out of 20. #ableg
Apparently, support crosses party lines, with the majority of UCP and NDP supporters A-OK with the proposal, says Advanis. #ableg
I unfortunately don't know who sponsored or paid for the poll, I don't know if it was random telephone calls or online, and I don't know how the questions in the poll were framed. I'll follow up. #ableg
"The results indicate that while a small number of people are vocally opposing the proposal, overall support from Albertans is high." #ableg
Some screengrabs for you. #ableg 
Small update. The poll was commissioned by CPAWS Alberta and undertaken by Advanis. Random set of people were contacted via telephone and, when they agreed to take part, were sent a text to take the survey online. Respondents were a representative sample of age and gender. #ableg
Online survey walked respondents though key details of the proposal, provided maps and a link to government info. They were then asked what they knew of the proposal and their level of support. They were given a list of reasons and then asked to rank them. #ableg
Polls can be weird and methodology is crucial, so I thought it was important to share it. #ableg
