POLL: NDP looks to gain ground in Sask.

Aug 5, 2015 | 12:15 PM

Early polls show the federal NDP has a shot at taking away Conservative seats in Saskatchewan for the first time in 15 years.
 
Across the province, support for the NDP is at 42 per cent. That’s nine points ahead of the Conservatives according to the latest EKOS poll.
 
The Liberals are in third with 14 per cent, just four points up on the Green Party.
 
In terms of specific ridings, another political website – threehundredeight.com – is showing an 87 per cent chance the NDP take Regina-Lewvan and a 93 per cent chance they’ll win in Saskatoon West.
 
The last time the NDP held a federal seat in Saskatchewan was in 2000.
