BC Conservatives Lead NDP With 5 Percent Bump in Poll Since Findlay Elected as Leader

The B.C. Tories are slightly ahead of the province’s governing NDP in a poll conducted since Kerry-Lynne Findlay became leader of the party. The party now sits at 45 five percent support among decided voters compared to the NDP’s 41 percent, according to a Leger poll conducted June 1 and 2. A previous poll by Leger conducted in early April had the BC Conservatives at 40 percent, suggesting the party gained five percentage points since. “Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s leadership is also beginning to shape perceptions of the BC Conservatives, though many British Columbians are still getting to know her,” Leger noted in a June 5 statement on the latest poll. “Awareness of the leadership change is high, but familiarity with Findlay remains limited, leaving room for opinions to shift as she becomes more visible.”
