Not much stock on the abascus online poll,they cant even give a margin of error.
Is intersting to note from Abascus is that Dix and Clark are liked almost exactly the same, but Clark is disliked by 42% to 35% to Dix. Biggest margin of difference on their poll is 65% think Clark is more style than substance vs Dix at 43%, Dix and Clark in a dead heat when asked who is qualafied to be Premiere, would have thought Clark would have a sizable lead in that department.
Reid and Ipsos seem to be the most reputable and show 14 and 19% lead for the NDP.
Race wil likely tighten a bit before the election, but would be betting NDP will win fairly comfortably.
Well, this should make for a nice conversation/flame war
Provincial election race as close as 4%?
Nice to see the race tightening up…perhaps the Liberals are getting more of the undecided vote…we will see how things go.
Now I am not suggesting that they will win this riding (this is an NDP stronghold riding)…but there is a lot of people in this community who feel Jennifer Rice is not the right person (left or right) to represent us in Victoria. Her views are much more in line with the Green Party than the BC NDP.
She has not proven her worth yet locally IMO…Judy Fraser is a long-time Rupert business owner and resident, with a ton of respect on both sides of the political spectrum.
I would think this race would be closer than the Coons/Pond race…Coons had boat loads of support and Pond was controversial choice at the time.
I am very disapointed that Rice is the one running for the NDP… 
who’s sign does Joanna have on her lawn? Rice’s or no ones? just curious
“who’s sign does Joanna have on her lawn? Rice’s or no ones? just curious”
A Green party sign

This is what happens when you have the $10 guy as party leader, coupled with another equally sketchy guy named Moe.
I have a feeling BC might be better off sticking with Christy, who IMO is pretty much useless as a premier.
Another poll released late yesterday says the gap is 6% between NDP and Liberals.
insightswest.com/news/update … -election/
Poll was conducted between Apr 29 and May 2.
So the last 4 polls have showed a 10%, 7%, 6% and 4% gaps between the Liberals/NDP.
Clearly a tightening trend is beginning to show and it can be argued that the BC Liberals have the clear momentum and BC NDP are losing ground with every passing day.
Sounds like a bit of self-delusion there, dog
Um yah ok.
My comments were in direct response to the new polls which strongly suggest that the race is tightening…I did not create these articles nor have I conducted these polls, so if you want to throw around “delusion” insults, you can direct those at the polling organizations if you doubt their numbers.
Interesting, internal polling shows BC Libs and NDP now tied in pop support.

Makes for an interesting election all of a sudden, doesn’t it.
