BC Conservatives lead by five points as the campaign enters its final week, poll finds

Conservative lead among decided voters

5 points

The BC Conservatives lead the NDP by five points among decided voters in British Columbia, according to an Innovative Research Group online poll conducted Oct 15 to 19.

The Conservatives lead at least narrowly in every region, with their biggest lead in the Lower Mainland south of the Fraser River, and a large lead among Punjabi and Chinese speakers.

“In this campaign, people have gotten even more angry at the NDP as the campaign progressed.”

— Greg Lyle, Innovative Research Group

On leadership, Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson is two points ahead of NDP Leader and Premier David Eby, a statistical tie.

Green voters still undecided

54 %

Among Green voters, 54 per cent have not fully made up their minds, and their second choices go two to one to the NDP, though not enough to close the gap.
