Lots of last second polls being released on the BC Election. Here is yet another:
The Canadian Press commissioned Harris-Decima to do a poll, and it was a 1000 person sample, done from April 27 to May 2. Although details are not available, they did write an article on the poll results. The only specific item I could find with respect to voter intention was the following paragraph:
Like another recent polls, the Harris-Decima survey also suggests the Liberals and the NDP were in a neck-and-neck race, but there was a huge swath – some 28 per cent – of respondents who said they were still undecided with only days to go before voting day.
I will chalk this one as “neck and neck”, but will not represent it in the polling graphs.
one issue which has not been analyzed adequatley is the degree of resentment towards the Libs and the NDP in the Interior.for example a recent report out of UNBC Prince George found Northern B.C accounted for 50 % of all revenues that go to Victoria. look no further than North East B.C which has sent Billions into Victorias coffers.yet what does the Interior-North get in return for the wealth created in towns like Fort Saint John and Prince George ? the answer is -CRUMBS.While at the same time Vancouver gets $Billions in Mega Projects largely paid for with the Interiors revenues.Do not underestimate the resentment being reflected in the Polls on MAY 12-and in future Elections.
