I published a B.C. projection "at the starting line" in Maclean's yesterday morning and, hours later, two new B.C. polls were published by Research Co. and Insights West (two firms that have done really well in Western Canada. See pollster ratings page here.)
So let's update the B.C. projection, shall we?
You will find all B.C. polls on this page. For details on 338's methodology, visit this page.
The popular vote projection has tightened up somewhat, but it will have to be adjusted once we know how many candidates each party will run - especially the Conservatives. Should they run candidates in only a handful of ridings (they had 10 candidates in 2017), their numbers will shrink significantly (and the Liberals would probably get a boost, but let's wait and see). The registration deadline is October 2, 2020 according to Elections BC.
On average, the NDP wins 50 seats, six seats above the majority threshold. The Liberals are surprisingly not far behind with 35 seats on average:
Here are the seat distributions for the NDP and Liberals.
The NDP wins the most seats in 85% of simulations, or about 6 of every 7 simulations. The NDP secures a majority in 82% simulations:
More numbers are expected next week. I will have a more detailed analysis then. It's been a long week, so please forgive the brevity of this post.
