Vancouver B.C. (7 February 2019)  Reports of the demise of BC Green Party swirled following the surprise (for some) win of the BC NDP in last week’s by-election in the Nanaimo electoral district. In conversations with several news outlets in the days before the by-election, we urged reporters to consider decades-long NDP support in Nanaimo (2001 being the exception since 1972). With an absence of tangible events driving support elsewhere, our overriding opinion

Vancouver B.C. (31 August 2017) The by-election race for Vancouver’s vacant City Council seat is the Greens’ to lose. And lose they may to the Non-Partisan Association or Vision Vancouver, despite both being well back in the poll. NPA support is composed largely of older voters who are more likely to cast a ballot. Vision is well known for its organized get-out-the-vote volunteers, a consistent advantage

Vancouver B.C. (1 August 2017) Just over half of Vancouverites (54%) have been affected in some way by British Columbia’s wildfires according to a Justason Market Intelligence poll conducted in late July. Forty-six (46%) of City residents have not been affected. East Side residents are significantly more likely than West Side residents to have been affected by the wildfires (61% vs. 47%). Air quality concerns prevail among the plurality

Vancouver B.C. (28 July 2017) The Green Party or Non-Partisan Association (NPA) are poised to pick up a seat in this fall’s by-election to fill the Vancouver City Council seat vacated by Geoff Meggs, who is now Premier John Horgan’s chief of staff. If the by-election were held today, just 17% of decided by-election voters would support a Vision Vancouver candidate, while the Green Party and NPA

Vancouver B.C. (26 July 2017) Vancouver residents are divided when it comes short-term rentals (STRs) on platforms like Airbnb. Residents’ are just as ambivalent when it comes to the recently approved STR regulations. With a view to offering 1,000 additional long-term rental units for local residents, Vancouver City Council has approved a regulatory framework that would prohibit STRs (aka home sharing) in secondary suites, laneway homes, and investment properties. Assuming

Vancouver B.C. (7 May 2017) – This race appears to be too close to call. In the final BC election poll in the Justason / zinc tank experiment, we find the B.C. Liberals either two points ahead or two points behind the BC NDP. The exception would be our telephone surveying, completed May 1 and 2, which finds the BC Liberals leading. Relying on our mixed mode methodology, which combines online and automatic telephone interviewing, BC Liberal support

Vancouver B.C. (5 May 2017) – When pollsters aren’t running polls, there’s a good chance they’re geeking out. About polling. On Tuesday, May 9, we will know the result of the BC Provincial Election. During this campaign period, experimenting with an online data collection platform (see previous posts), and now IVR, Justason Market Intelligence and zinc tank have teamed up to offer our insights on B.C.’s general election.  Brian Singh, zinc

Vancouver B.C. (5 May 2017) – Yesterday, we reported that the BC Liberals appear to have secured a lead in the race to form the next provincial government. In that poll, the BC Liberals were the choice of 39% of decided voters; the BC NDP held 34% and the BC Greens, 23%. How confident are we that this will be the popular outcome? We are confident that we captured public

Vancouver B.C. (4 May 2017) – The BC Liberals are leading among B.C.’s decided voters according to the latest polling from Justason Market Intelligence and zinc tank.

Over the same period, BC Green support has grown to 23%.

Vancouver B.C. (1 May 2017) – Our neighbours support the BC NDP by an edge BC voters tell pollsters. The pollsters asked B.C. residents, “With the provincial election on May 9, 2017, thinking of your neighbours, which party do you think they will vote for?” Perhaps reacting to a well covered Mainstreet Research poll reporting a substantial lead for the BC NDP, somewhat more voters now tell pollsters they believe their neighbours support the BC NDP. BC Liberals

Vancouver B.C. (30 Apr 2017) – This election is now firmly in too-close-to-call territory. Just one week after our last poll, an already close race is even closer, pollsters at Justason Market Intelligence / zinc tank find. The BC Liberals have closed the province-wide gap with the BC NDP (from 3 points favouring NDP to 1 point favouring Liberals). BC NDP now garners support from 37% of B.C.’s decided voters. The BC Liberals, meanwhile, continue to attract solid support, up
