Prince George, B.C. –The successful candidates in the northern ridings may well be decided by which party is able to get its voters out to cast ballots.
The latest Angus Reid Survey indicates that among decided voters, the Liberals lead has been trimmed to just 3 points ( 42% to 39%) over the New Democrats.
The survey shows the economy remains the top issue and 75% of voters say the most important trait for a premier is competence not empathy.
When it comes to which leader was best suited to handle certain issues, Gordon Campbell scored best on the economy (48%) and crime (38%) while Carole James scored 16% and 15% respectively. James was selected as the leader best suited to deal with health care (41%) and education (42%) while Campbell scored 26% and 25% on those two areas.
When it comes to handling the environment, 45% said they were not sure, or that neither leader was suited to deal with that issue.
The survey was conducted April 24-April 26th.
