VICTORIA - The B.C. Liberals have pulled into a double-digit lead over the opposition New Democratic Party, a new poll by the Mustel Group has found.
Conducted Jan. 8-15, the poll gives the Liberals a 14-point lead with 47 per cent support.
Released today, the poll gives the NDP 33 per cent support, and the Green Party 16 per cent.
Coming as the province grapples with growing ecocnomic turmoil - and fewer than four months from the May 12 election - the poll underscores the volatility of political support in B.C.
In November, a Mustel Group poll found the Liberals had only a two-point lead over the NDP.
People in today's Mustel poll listed the economy as their top concern.
The poll was conducted among a random sample of 750 people and is considered accurate ±3.6% at the 95% confidence level.
