The poll found that 29 per cent of respondents remained unsure who would be the best candidate for the job. Of those who gave a name, 28 per cent said Liberal Leader Christy Clark would be best for the job, while 25 per cent named NDP Leader John Horgan. Green Leader Andrew Weaver was named by 18 per cent of respondents as the right person to become B.C.’s next premier.

“That’s the cynical, more skeptical view of the leaders,” said Shachi Kurl, executive director for the Angus Reid Institute. “Otherwise, the two main contenders for premier here — both of them have negative momentum scores. They’re not viewed that favourably.”

Y’ouch.

Horgan will spend the day on Vancouver Island today, as the NDP look to beat back the Green challenge there. Weaver will split his day on the Island and Sunshine Coast, while Clark will travel the most kilometres today with stops in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Interior.
