Forum Research conducted a phone poll of more than 900 New Brunswickers on August 25th. The results show Brian Gallant and the Liberals to be at 46%, while David Alward and his Progressive Conservatives are lingering far behind at 31%. The New Democrats are at 15% and the Greens at 7&.
The PCs leaked their own polling numbers as well. The poll commissioned by the PCs was done by NRG and they surveyed over 1200 New Brunswickers. That poll put the Liberals at 26%-34% compared to the Tories’ 13%.
If the polls are at all accurate, this puts the Liberals in a position to sweep 44 of the 49 seats in the legislature this year. The Tories are still expected to fill the other few seats. These numbers are an especially bad sign for the third parties, who I honestly hope will win a few seats and bring some diversity to the legislature.
