BC provincial voter intention: New political landscape
2012-03-17
Vancouver, BC (Mar 17, 2012) – The BC New Democratic Party is well on its way to forming the next government. But with only marginal growth since the last general election, they can’t take too much credit for their current position. The emergence of the BC Conservative Party is the game changer in this provincial race.
Currently, 45% of voters would support the NDP, up only slightly from 42% in the last general election. About one-third of BC Liberal supporters in the last election have moved their vote to the BC Conservatives. BC Liberal support stands at 31%, down 15 percentage points. BC Conservative support stands at 14%.
The question: “If a provincial election were called today, which party would you support?”
