NDP inch up to 39 per cent support, Libs 47, undecided 11 per cent
Vancouver, BC – With only a few days remaining in the BC Election campaign, a new
Ipsos Reid poll reveals the race is tightening, but the BC Liberals are still heavy
favourites to win a third consecutive majority government.
The NDP currently has the support of 39% of decided voters, an increase of 4 percentage points from a March Ipsos Reid pre-election poll. However, the BC Liberals continue to lead at 47% support (up 1 point), 8 points ahead of the NDP. Green Party support has fallen to 10%, down 5 points from March.
These results exclude the 11% of British Columbians who are undecided or express no preference.
- The BC Liberals lead by 15 points in the Lower Mainland (51% Lib vs. 36% NDP), while the two main parties are effectively tied in the rest of the province (41% Lib vs. 43% NDP).
- There continues to be a substantial gender gap in voter preferences. Men favour the BC Liberals by 16 points (51% Lib vs. 35% NDP), while women are equally split between the two main parties (43% Lib vs. 43% NDP).
