jdobbin Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Latest poll in Quebec. The PQ remains in the lead. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/071206/...quebec_poll_col The main separatist party in Canada's French-speaking province of Quebec has increased its lead in public opinion, according to a new survey released on Thursday.The CROP poll for La Presse newspaper put support for the Parti Quebecois at 34 percent, up three points from a survey done by the same firm in October. The ruling Liberals, who have a minority government, stayed at 30 percent, while the right-wing ADQ dropped two points to 26 percent. The poll shows the PQ is steadily recovering after a bad loss in a provincial election last March, when it came in third with just 28 percent of the vote. On the federal front. The poll held mixed news for the minority federal Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, which needs to win more Quebec seats to stand a chance of gaining a majority in Parliament in the next election.CROP said backing for the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois -- the federal wing of the separatist movement -- had remained steady at 31 percent. The Liberals, who lost the January 2006 federal election amid a kickbacks scandal in Quebec, trailed far behind at 18 percent. A potential problem for Harper is the falling popularity of the ADQ, which the federal Conservatives view as an unofficial sister party in Quebec. The ADQ rose from near obscurity to win 30 percent of the vote in Quebec's election but since then Dumont's star has waned steadily, in part because his parliamentary caucus is young and inexperienced. "You can't say who is going to win the (next Quebec) election but the ADQ will neither be in power or form the official opposition," Claude Gauthier of CROP told La Presse.

jdobbin Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Latest poll in B.C. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/st...dbd&k=35240 In 2007, British Columbia marked the landmark ratification of two treaties, a major announcement on climate change and a variety of other political ups and downs.But none of this was enough to change what British Columbians think of the people they sent to Victoria to lead their province. An Ipsos Reid poll to be released today suggests that public opinion of the B.C. Liberal government, of the New Democratic Party and even of the seatless Green Party has remained virtually static since this time last year. "You take a look at the year-over-year [numbers] and you could be forgiven for thinking absolutely nothing happened this year," said Ipsos Reid vice-president Kyle Braid. The numbers have the B.C. Liberals with 45 per cent support, the NDP with 35 per cent and the Green Party with 16 per cent. The numbers are considered accurate to within plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. It is a spread that continues to bode very well for Premier Gordon Campbell and his Liberal government, which remains 10 points ahead of the Opposition 21/2 years into the current mandate, and after more than six years in power. "This is a fantastic result for the government. Having a 10-point lead is quite a success," said Braid, pointing out support for governments traditionally drops after an election. In 2005, the Liberals were elected with 46 per cent of the vote, almost exactly the support they continue to enjoy today. It looks like people are quite satisfied with the government there.

jdobbin Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Latest poll in Quebec. http://www.cjad.com/news/565/705743 The latest Leger Marketing poll shows despite gaining official opposition party status in the last election, its popular support has slipped back down to the days when it had only 5 seats in the National Assembly.The poll shows the ADQ with 18 per cent support among voters, the same results the party received in the 2003 election, compared to 37 per cent for the Charest Liberals and 33 per cent for the Parti Quebecois. The Premier was grinning ear to ear as he responded to journalists questions on his way into a meeting with municipal leaders. "This government of cohabitation is working well," he said referring to the minority government. "And that is in the interest of Quebecers." The ADQ inexperience probably doesn't help. A similar thing happened to provincial Liberals in Manitoba when they went from 1 to 20 seats. The more experienced PQ and Liberals will pick apart their inexperience and target vulnerable ridings in the next election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedavid00 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Latest poll in B.C.http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/st...dbd&k=35240 It looks like people are quite satisfied with the government there. It looks like the high immigrant, seat rich population is happy with the Liberals for giving them all the support and benefits they need to racially ghettoise together, get aunty-ji a surgery, and bring more people over. The tax paying BC'er in the private sector paying for these people is pulling his hair out and has lost political franchise in his own province. Also an unusally high amount of gov't jobs. BC is a communist state almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
