When it comes to the question of best premier, Adrian Dix and Christy Clark are in a dead heat. Currently, 34% select Adrian Dix as best premier, up 3 points from 31% last week. Adrian Dix’s 3 point gain comes at the expense of single point losses by Christ Clark (33%, down 1), John Cummins (7%, down 1) and Jane Sterk (6%, down 1). Twenty percent (unchanged) of voters are undecided on this question.

This poll was taken by 800 British Columbians, and is accurate to within +/- 4.0 percentage.
