The latest poll shows a slim Wildrose Party lead over the PC’s and New Democrats.

A Forum Research automated phone survey of more than 1,600 voters finds 30 per cent for the Wildrose, 28 per cent for the PC’s and 27 per cent for the NDP.

About 12 per cent said they would support the Liberals.

The poll showed a 22 per cent approval rating for Premier Jim Prentice while NDP leader Rachel Notley enjoys a rating of nearly double that at 42 per cent.
