It has been said that the only political poll that counts is the one that takes place on election day – I agree. That said however, when two polls come out the same week, showing the political party you support is increasing, well you have to like that.
I recent years the BC Conservative Party has been found lumped in with a group called “Others” -- not so any more! In the last week or so two polls have come out that show the BC Conservatives gaining in popular support.
In the poll taken by Ipsos Reid they show the party at 10%, while the one by the Mustel Group poll had the BC Conservatives at 18%! These results have to be encouraging for John Cummins who will soon become leader of the party – they show BC voters are responding in a positive way to a message of change, government accountability, and electing a government that puts
folks ahead of the special interests.
The Ipsos Reid poll, which can be found HERE, shows that compared to the May 2009 election, voter support for the BC Liberals is down 5 points from 46% ... and the NDP are down 3 points from 42%. (NOTE ... both of these polls have of course been conducted since the Liberals and New Democrats elected new leaders.)
