Cons neck and neck with NDP in first poll since suspension of BC United-Liberals’ campaign

A poll conducted by Pallas Data on Thursday has found that the BC Conservatives and BC NDP are neck and neck.

It is the first major survey released in the wake of BC United-Liberals leader Kevin Falcon’s decision to suspend his party’s campaign.

According to the poll, 44% of British Columbians plan on voting for David Eby’s incumbents, while 43% said they would be supporting John Rustad and his crew of newcomers. The margin of error was +/- 3.4%, meaning the two parties are essentially tied.

The Conservatives were more popular in rural BC, while the NDP still maintained a sizeable lead on Vancouver Island. Greater Vancouver skewed slightly left, but the two parties were still within 5%.

One model using the data found that it would result in a hung parliament, with the NDP taking 47 seats to the Conservatives’ 46.
