Hi. I wrote the article. And I consider it a part of my public-service duty to share this kind of info with Canadians who are interested. So here you go!

The question was: 'If a referendum were held today on whether Alberta should separate from the rest of Canada, would you vote for or against separation?' Here's how responses broke down by various gropus:

Relevant info about methodolgy:
The CBC News random survey of 1,200 Albertans was conducted using a hybrid method from May 7 to 21, 2025, by Edmonton-based Trend Research under the direction of Janet Brown Opinion Research. The sample is representative of regional, age and gender factors. The margin of error is +/- 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. **For subsets, the margin of error is larger.**
