A new Ipsos poll conducted in partnership with Global BC shows the NDP with a very slim two-point advantage over the Conservatives as the 2024 campaign reaches the finish line.
A final poll ahead of B.C.’s election day finds the BC NDP is favoured to win a third term.
However, it is still a close race.
A new Ipsos poll conducted in partnership with Global BC shows the NDP with a very slim two-point advantage over the Conservatives as the 2024 campaign reaches the finish line.
The poll finds the NDP leads by 13 points in Metro Vancouver and 17 points among the 55-plus age group.
But an NDP victory is not a certainty, according to Ipsos.
“This election will come down to turnout – who has already voted and who will show up on election day – as well as to some last minute ballot box decisions,” Ipsos researchers state.
“B.C. has surprised before and the range of outcomes in this election includes an NDP majority, a Conservative majority and the potential for the Greens to hold a balance of power.”
According to those polled, there are three top issues for voters in this election: the cost of living and inflation, health care and housing affordability and availability.
