Three in 10 BC United supporters say they will support the New Democrats
With just two weeks to go before election day in British Columbia, the race remains considerably tight. The governing BC NDP and the Conservative Party of BC are separated by a single point among decided voters , with the BC Green Party at nine per cent.
The voting intention question outlines how imperfect the desired coalescing of BC United into the BC Conservatives has been. While 61 per cent of likely voters who supported the BC Liberals under Andrew Wilkinson in the 2020 provincial ballot are now behind the BC Conservatives, 32 per cent say they will vote for the BC NDP.
These results are significantly different from what we saw at this point in the 2020 provincial campaign. Premier and BC NDP leader John Horgan’s approval rating stood at 65 per cent, and he had a sizable lead over Wilkinson as “Best Premier” . Eby is still preferred over Rustad on issues where BC NDP leaders in this century have been dominant: Housing, homelessness and poverty , health care and education . Rustad leads Eby on dealing with crime and public safety and the two are tied a 35 per cent on managing the province’s finances.
