Ipsos Reid poll shows BC Liberals benefiting from decline in support for BC Conservatives

The BC Liberals are gaining support as the BC Conservatives are falling.

That’s according to a new Ipsos Reid poll.

The poll shows that 35% of decided voters in the province support the BC Liberals — that’s up 3 points from September.

Support for the Conservatives has gone down 3 points since September — from 12% to 9%.

Since June, support for the Liberals has gone up by 6 points, while support for the Conservatives has gone down by 7 points.

Meanwhile, 48% of decided voters support the NDP — that’s virtually unchaged from September.

Ipsos Reid notes the overall provincial mood should favour the Liberals, saying 59% of British Columbians think the economy is in very good or good shape.

Nearly four-in-ten think the economy is in poor or very poor shape.

When the Liberals were elected in the spring of 2001, the 25% of British Columbians thought the economy was in good shape.
