Of course, vote intention is one thing. Actual votes is quite another. So we ran a mathematical model (a Monte Carlo simulation) of 200,000 referendum outcomes. It found the 'Commence the separation process' vote is likely to land near 31%, based on current assumptions (including turnout).

Of the Albertans who would vote to commence the separation process: → 67% say they would actually vote to separate in a future, binding referendum. → 23% say their future vote would depend on circumstances at the time → 7% say they would vote to stay in Canada → 2% Unsure

Overall, most people are pretty certain of how they will vote. But the 'Remain' voters are more sure of their vote than the 'Commence' voters who, by comparison, are a bit less certain. Older voters tend to be more locked-in on their decisions than younger voters, too.
