Her support generally would be 7.2 per cent among all respondents, but would have the support of 11 per cent of just decided voters.

The NDPs support is highest on Vancouver Island at almost 42 per cent, where B.C. Liberal support is lowest at 12 per cent and Green support comes in at 13 per cent, also its highest.

The gap between Liberals and NDP is narrowest in Vancouver, where NDP support was 29 per cent of respondents versus 22 per cent for the Liberals and Green support six per cent.

The survey asked several questions on community benefit agreements, which showed support among respondents and strongest sentiments among NDP confirmed voters.

For the poll, Strategic Communications surveyed a panel of 801 respondents that was statistically weighted to match the composition of B.C.s population by gender, age, region and mother tongue with an online questionnaire.

While a margin of error isnt applicable to such online surveys, a probability sample of this size would have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 per cent, 19 times out of 20, according to Strategic Communications.
