The CBC Pollcast, hosted by CBC poll analyst and ThreeHundredEight.com founder Éric Grenier, explores the world of electoral politics, political polls and the trends they reveal.


As the campaign reaches its halfway point, Wednesday's leaders' debate between Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall and NDP Leader Cam Broten could be decisive. That is, if people in Saskatchewan haven't already made up their minds.

Joining host Éric Grenier again to break down the state of the election campaign is the CBC's Stefani Langenegger. 

Have the first two weeks of the campaign had an impact on party fortunes? What's at stake for Brad Wall and Cam Broten in Wednesday's debate? Could the leaders' debate move public opinion, or are voters set in their choices?

Two weeks down, two to go! With the Saskatchewan election campaign at its midpoint, it's time to check in with the CBC's Stefani Langenegger in Regina.
