A new poll on the popular vote in BC shows the governing New Democrats with the most support, very closely followed by the Conservatives with the opposition BC United far behind.

The poll conducted by Mainstreet Research found the BC NDP with 39.6% support, the BC Conservative Party with 34.2% and the BC United Party at 14.5%.

“The provincial numbers are interesting and continue to suggest that the BC United rebrand experiment is a failure,” Quito Maggi, president and CEO of Mainstreet Research said in a media release issued today, March 21.

“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 benefitting both the NDP and the BC Conservatives."

The 388Canada project, which provides a statistical model of electoral projections based on opinion polls, electoral history and demographic data, came up with different results.

According to the last update on Feb. 1, the BC NDP still has the most support at 46%, with the BC Conservatives second at 22% and BC United with 18%.

Mainstreet Research is a Canadian public opinion and market research firm that has been forecasting election results in Canada and the United States since 2010.

The BC Election will take place on or before Oct. 19.
