Conservatives won nearly all the seats in the province and 65 per cent of the votes, compared to the Liberals’ 28 per cent — far back, even if it was their best performance in Alberta in a half-century.

But the polling data suggests that the number of Albertans who are very impressed with Carney outstrips the number who voted for him. It also suggests that significant numbers of Conservative voters aren’t enamoured with their own leader, though some may consider themselves hopeful about the new Liberal prime minister.
