Poll findings suggest B.C. Premier John Horgan\u0027s popularity will get his successor off to a strong start.
The New Democrats have had a slight decline in popularity since the 2020 election, but still have the highest level of support among respondents with 44 per cent saying they’ll vote for the governing party in the next election, according to a new Leger poll commissioned by Postmedia News.
Premier John Horgan’s popularity endures, with more British Columbians — 34 per cent of respondents — saying he had a positive affect the province than those who said he had a negative impact — 27 per cent. About 27 per cent said he had neither a positive nor negative impact. Horgan, who turns 63 in August, announced in June he would not seek a third term citing fatigue following his most recent bout with cancer. He will stay on as premier until his successor is chosen in a leadership vote that closes Dec. 3.
So far, David Eby, until recently the attorney general and housing minister, is the only contender in the race. With the support of 48 NDP MLAs and no challenger so far, it’s looking like an acclamation, which could mean British Columbians will know their premier as early as Oct. 4, which is the deadline to enter the race.Article content
