| Commentary |
| Approximately one-half of British Columbians are "fully satisfied" with the political party choices available to them, should a federal election be called soon. Respondents in this survey clearly see voting as a "duty", fewer see voting as a right, and only a minority see voting as a privilege. |
| Less than half of the British Columbians in this survey are of the opinion that the political future of BC and Canada will be positive. Conservatives move ahead, Liberals decline and federal NDP stay where they are. Another ROBBINS public opinion autopsy reveals that Premier Gordon Campbell is still politically dead from self-inflicted political wounds. |
