Mustel confirms no provincial polling

Mustel confirmed that there will be no provincial polling until well after the Federal elections are over - which means to confirm the last Angus Reid poll (showing the NDP up 41% to the BC Liberals’ 38%) we will have to wait in suspense for one, and possibly two election campaigns.
As for the Angus Reid Strategies poll:
“…. the Angus Reid Strategies online opinion survey.
Nobody is taking the horse race numbers in that survey too seriously.
Even the New Democrats, who were purportedly given a three-point lead by respondents.”

Nevertheless, Kyle Braid, the local pollster for Ipsos confirmed through the televised media a couple of weeks back, that Ipsos will release their usual quarterly BC provincial party preference survey in September.
I expect that to be within the next two weeks and Ipsos has typically mirrored Mustel’s results within a few percentage points.
