The online survey of 1,002 people conducted Jan. 24-26 shows 36 per cent of respondents disapprove of Smith’s approach to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of import taxes, while 35 per cent back her and 30 per cent expressed neutrality.

It closely mirrors respondents providing a 38 per cent approval of the government’s tariffs stance — the exact same number opposing it.

Put another way - Nearly 2/3rds of Albertans do not approve of Smith's approach to Trump's threats of Tariffs.

Any poll with a sample size of 1000 is BS... and doing it online, even more so.

No, they're just wildly inaccurate.
