This weeks Mustel Group poll indicates that the BC Liberals second honeymoon with the electorate is long over.
After bribing public sector union members, greenwashing their lack of coherent transportation policy, and handing out tax cuts like they so many cheap plastic 2010 Olympic label pins, the Liberals have dropped 8 points over the last seven months. Meanwhile, the NDP holds steady at 38%, which may give pause to the hard-left activists pushing the panic button over Carole James' low-key, slow burning approach to leading the party.
The biggest gain is for the Green Party, which once again proves the power of the right political brand. It's unlikely that that support will translate into MLAs on election day two years from now, but with even Stephen Harper wanting to be recognized as "green" one would think the Greens could at least be beating the BC Marijuana Party at T-shirt sales...

The BC Greens still don't have a leader. Maybe when they elect their Stephane Dion, they'll go down in the polls again...
