New B.C. polls sees NDP in lead but Conservatives surging within six points

These findings emerge in a new poll from Mainstreet Research released Thursday after being conducted on March 18-19.

It 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 BC under John Rustad would receive 34 per cent of the vote, more than twice the 15 per cent BC United under Kevin Falcon would receive. BC Greens under Sonia Furstenau would receive 10 per cent.These figures confirm the continuing surge of the provincial Conservatives, largely at the expense of BC United.

This points also shines through in the analysis of Quito Maggi, president and chief executive officer of Mainstreet Research. “The numbers are interesting and continue to suggest that the BC United rebrand experiment is a failure,” he said. “This is our first snapshot of BC of 2024 and is consistent with our last BC 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.”
