A new poll, released with Election Day looming just days away, is showing a huge increase of support for Alberta’s NDP.

The Mainstreet Technologies poll, released on Friday morning, shows a 14 percent leap in support for the NDP since their last poll.

The party now sits at 38 percent support, which places the NDP in a position of a majority government.

The Wildrose sit in second place at 23 percent, the PCs at 18 percent, Liberals at four percent, followed by the Alberta Party at two percent.

“The dynasty in Alberta will come to an end on Tuesday with the election of an NDP government, what seemed like the unlikeliest outcome, is now the only possible outcome. We know from our previous polling that over 75% of Albertans wanted a change in government and they will get it. Few Albertans believed there was a viable alternative to the PCs as a government. While Brian Jean did his very best to prove most Albertans right during the leaders debate, Rachel Notley demonstrated that she was that viable alternative,” said Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Technologies in a release.

The poll was conducted on Wednesday night from a group of over 3,000 Albertans.

Among the highlights of the report:

  • 73 percent of decided voters in Edmonton will vote NDP
  • 35 percent of decided voters in Calgary back the NDP, followed by Wildrose at 26 percent, PCs at 24 percent
  • Outside Edmonton and Calgary the NDP lead 39 percent to 33 percent over Wildrose, with PCs at 22 percent

Residents in Calgary say they're very surprised by the results, but expect it's just a reaction to how the economy is currently.

"Myself personaly, I think when it comes down to it, when people start to vote on Tuesday, I think they'll vote the way they always have been, I think. I had a door-to-door visit from my PC constituent a day and half ago, met me at the door, very personable, he told me what he was going to do, had a good plan, so that's the way I'm leaning," says Bob Ogilvie.

Other residents aren't too considered about who does the job, just that it gets done. "Whoever takes care of the tax problems and the senior citizen's problems and infrastructure problems - as long as that is taken care of, I don't worry about it," said Muhammad Poovanthodi.

Poovanthodi adds that everyone, including the system itself could benefit from a change.

Others think that the change presented by the NDP will be too big for the province to handle.
