## Resource

Albertans are turning away from Premier Danielle Smith, with 56% disapproving of her leadership and a majority unhappy with her separatism stance — even those who support separation think she’s siding with the union camp. A new poll reveals 52% believe her push for a referendum is about protecting her job, not Albertans’ future. While support for separation has dipped, underlying frustrations remain. The political race stays tight, with the UCP holding a slight edge outside major cities, while the NDP holds ground in Calgary and Edmonton.
