We’re learning more about how British Columbians plan to vote in the next federal election following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bombshell resignation.
According to a new Research Co. poll, Conservative support is on the rise in the province.
Results of the online survey indicate that the federal Conservative Party amassed a significant lead over the governing Liberal Party on the weekend prior to Justin Trudeau’s announced resignation as prime minister.
In the online survey of a representative national sample, 47 per cent of decided voters in Canada would support the Conservative candidate in their riding if an election took place tomorrow.
That’s up seven points since a similar Research Co. poll conducted in August 2024.
The governing Liberal Party is a distant second with 21 per cent (-4), followed by the New Democratic Party with 15 per cent (-2), the Bloc Québécois with 10 per cent (+1), the Green Party with 3 per cent (-3) and the People’s Party with 2 per cent (=).
Support for the Conservatives is even higher in British Columbia at 54 per cent (+4).
