The B.C. Liberals are in second place with 30 per cent, followed by the B.C. Green party with 21 per cent and the B.C. Conservative Party with nine per cent.

A little more than half of the respondents, 51 per cent, approved of Premier John Horgan’s performance, while 34 per cent disapproved of the job he’s done since he assumed office in July 2017. Green Leader Andrew Weaver’s approval rating stands at 42 per cent, while Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson’s rating sits at 34 per cent.

“The B.C. NDP and the B.C. Green party are holding on to more than four-in-five of the voters who supported them in the 2017 provincial election,” said Mario Canseco, president of Research Co. “For the B.C. Liberals, the number is slightly lower at 76 per cent.”
