BC Conservatives edge ahead of NDP in poll as snap election looms

A recent Angus Reid Institute poll of 801 British Columbian adults shows the BC Conservatives at 43% support, overtaking the governing NDP at 35%, while the Greens hold 12%. The poll finds that 65% of respondents feel Premier David Eby is more focused on retaining power than on provincial needs. About two‑thirds of voters say the snap election call is premature, a sentiment echoed across party lines. The Conservatives are now led by Lorne Doerkson, who took over the party shortly before the campaign launch.
