Liberals gain in latest poll
VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

Some slightly better polling numbers for the BC Liberals, for a change.


They have gone up three points in the latest Angus Reid poll, but still trail the NDP by a wide margin.


It's the first time Christy Clark's crew has gone up since January.


The NDP lead with 46 per-cent support among decided voters, down three points.


The Liberals are up three to 25, while the BC Conservatives are unchanged at 19 percent.


On approval rating, NDP leader Adrian Dix leads Clark by 17 points and on who would make the best premier, Dix leads Clark by 13 points.

    "On approval rating, NDP leader Adrian Dix leads Clark by 17 points and on who would make the best premier, Dix leads Clark by 13 points."

    Shouldn't it be "Who would be the least hated..."

    I am glad to see they have moved up. Not because I do not support a socialist like government such as airhead Dix's NDP, but because I do not like seeing complete annihilation in elections. If a patrty wins, it's because they earned it, not because the other party needed to be booted out.

    100 HUNTLY STREET? This premier has a mental illness called the Catholic Faith. The FBI says there are 7 Child Rapists living in Vatican City right now that should be sent back to the US for prosecution.
    Then there was the Doc. on Knowledge network about Father O'Grady and how he raped a 9 month old baby. Yet he is back in Ireland getting a gold plated pension.

    Fuck Cristy Clark and her mental illness know as religion!!

      @YourAmericanMaster Leave religion out of this, BC has enough problems

      @YourAmericanMaster Your comments equal a hate crime. To make blanket statements like that about any group is wrong. You obviously have a problem with religion; by your logic I should call it a mental illness.

    YourAmericanMaster: Always remember two things which Adrian Dix and Jim SinClair seem to ignore. One, the race in life is a long one, it is only with yourself. Two, your chances in life are only at half mast, so is everyone else's. Absorb this, and then you won't have to use four letter words anymore.

    the numbers would improve if she became more transparent and called an inquiry into BC Rail and put aside all the speculation and allegation of corruption and payoffs.

      @HJDH If dummy did call an inquiry into BC Rail she would most likely not have to worry about elections for a few years.
      Basi-Virk is not an allegation, the government twisted rules to pay them off before damage was done.
      BC Hydro is not an allegation.
      Pensions for politicians isn't an allegation.etc. etc.

    What's the margin of error? What's the sample size?
    Changes this small shouldn't deserve a news article.

    Slow news day sounds more likely.

    Bucket A$$ Clark doesnt follow polls.....as she put it look at what happened in Alberta! The LIEberals only hope of keeping maybe 10 seats to to remove Snookie as leader...Three of the MAJOR financial liberal supports have cut off all funding until she is remoned as INTERIM Premier and Liberal leader....

    Just wait n see! In any event its time for new provoncial leaders the Liberals have ruined this province

    Even though the lie berals gained 3 points that still means they will be sitting ON the back benches.As long as risky is the leader they have NO chance ever to form government again.
    1. miltw posted on 09/13/2012 01:01 PM
      @bctaxpayer From the looks of it that may well be the smallest back bench used in the history of parliament.
      The liebrals probably gained the points because dummy is out of country picking up take out.
