Ya do know that ya are quoting a purported "Google Survey"? Makes the 2012 AB polls "bang-on" in comparison.
Look, there are expensive and more accurate CATI (landline and cell phone) polls, and much cheaper junk IVR (robo call) polls and opt-in online panel polls.
But these Google Surveys?

Huh? Doubt they are referring to the Bow River sample in Calgary. More likely the North SK River sample in Edmonton. As for "Bayesian"... cool word. Whatever it means.
PS. Just gotta love this tidbit from that purported Google Survey:
