A new public-opinion survey indicates the BC Conservatives hold a widening advantage over the governing New Democratic Party (NDP). The poll, conducted by the Angus Reid Institute, shows the Conservatives leading the NDP by 10 percentage points, building on the existing gap reported in earlier polling. Both sources connect the shift to public sentiment around the provincial government’s handling of Indigenous-related issues, particularly uncertainty over the future of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The articles report that Premier David Eby’s approval rating is declining. They also note that nearly half of respondents say they favour repealing DRIPA, suggesting substantial division among voters on how the legislation should be treated. The survey findings reflect broader dissatisfaction with the government’s approach to the Indigenous file, according to the summaries provided by each outlet. Overall, the articles present a consistent picture: the Conservatives’ lead grows to 10 points while public support for the NDP appears weakened, alongside heightened controversy surrounding DRIPA.
