The polling analysis site 338Canada has looked at the latest poll from Mainstreet and offered a dire note for Burnaby South MP and federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and his party.
In the poll, the numbers for B.C. had the NDP at 14% support, well behind the allegedly surging Greens (I say allegedly because with polling, who knows).
“In British Columbia, Mainstreet has the Conservatives ahead with 34%, which could translate into net gains seat-wise, but the Liberals hold their own with 26%. The Greens are in third place with 21%, which could be potentially catastrophic for the NDP.”
When you are only a few months away from a federal election, the words “potentially catastrophic” are alarming when they are associated with your party.
The NDP are already getting out-fundraised by the Greens - I wrote about that here - this poll has the Greens ahead in support.
What I can’t figure out is how the Conservatives are so far ahead in B.C. If the pipeline really is a deciding factor in B.C. residents not supporting the Liberals, why turn to the Conservatives – who don’t feel Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is doing enough to ram through the Trans Mountain project?
