A recent survey found that the Conservative Party of B.C. would take second place in popular votes if a provincial election were to be held immediately, forcing the Official Opposition, the BC United party, into third. 

The survey, done by Leger and published on Oct. 5, found that support for the Conservatives is at 25 percent, while support for BC United dropped to 19 percent. That is a change from a similar poll done in July that put the B.C. United at 27 percent and the Conservatives at 16 percent.
