Mainstreet poll points to NDP majority and a strong Conservative opposition

The poll from Mainstreet Research — released Thursday after being conducted on March 18-19 — finds that 40 per cent of decided voters would vote for the provincial New Democrats if an election were to be held today. The Conservative Party of B.C. under John Rustad would receive 34 per cent of the vote, more than twice the 15 per cent B.C. United under Kevin Falcon would receive. B.C. Greens under Sonia Furstenau would receive 10 per cent.

“The numbers are interesting and continue to suggest that the B.C. United rebrand experiment is a failure,” he said. “This is our first snapshot of B.C. of 2024 and is consistent with our last B.C. poll of 2023 that showed BC United in third. As voters come closer to an election, that support continues to erode, benefiting both the NDP and the BC Conservatives.”

“I think the poll is an important remainder for…anyone who has been quick to dismiss the B.C. Conservative Party as an extremist party that will not find traction in the province,” he said. “We need to take this party and what they are proposing seriously.”Eby said provincial Conservatives deny the existence of climate change despite its effects on British Columbia and would undermine B.C.’s advantage to fight climate change through its access to clean electricity and leading technology firms.
