At least six in 10 Albertans would choose to stay in Canada if they were to cast their votes on the province’s proposed separation referendum question today, a new poll suggests.

The Angus Reid poll released this week found that 60 percent of those surveyed said they would vote no to the official referendum question, while 35 percent said they would vote yes. Five percent were unsure.
