British Columbia Provincial Polling: Week of September 16

September 19, 2024

As the 2024 BC provincial election draws near, Leger plans to repeatedly administer this survey on a weekly basis to provide up-to-date polling and insights related to the upcoming election. This survey was conducted from September 13 to 16, 2024.

Highlights of the study include…

  • The BC NDP (44%) currently hold a slight lead over the Conservative Party (42%) in voting intention among decided voters, while the Greens (11%) sit far behind despite making significant gains this month.
  • More than eight in ten (84%) BC residents indicate they are likely to vote, while nearly two-thirds (62%) indicate that they will “definitely vote”.
  • More than three-quarters (76%) of decided voters report that they are not likely to switch their vote, while just under one in five (18%) indicate they are likely to do so.
  • Premier David Eby remains the leader with the highest approval rating (47%) in September 2024. Furstenau (35%) and Rustad (34%) both received favourability rates of around one-third.
  • 37% of BC residents believe that things in the province are going in the right direction, while 55% of British Columbians believe that things in the province are off on the wrong track.
  • Housing affordability remains the top issue in BC, followed by health care, inflation/rising interest rates, and the economy.

Methodology

This web survey was conducted from September 13 to 16, 2024, with 1,001 British Columbians aged 18 or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison, a probability sample of 1,001 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.1 %, 19 times out of 20.
