With just four days before British Columbians cast their votes in the provincial election, a new poll shows the Liberals are closing in on the NDP.

The poll from Ipsos Reid suggests the gap is shrinking with just six per cent separating the two parties, with NDP still in the lead.

The BC Liberals are now up two points at 37 per cent, and the NDP are down two points to 43 per cent.

The Liberals were trailing by 19 points at the start of the campaign and by 10 points just one week ago.

Liberal leader Christy Clark is also now three points ahead of NDP’s Adrian Dix when it comes to who will make a better premier. Clark was back by 13 points behind Dix at the start of the campaign.
She has gained three points since last week, and Dix has lost as many in the same time period.
