Research Co.’s October 13 provincial campaign poll gives OneBC a fresh public baseline: 2% among decided likely voters, up one point from Research Co.’s August poll, and 26% approval for Dallas Brodie, up eight points from August.

What changed

The new poll puts the BC Conservatives at 44% among decided likely voters, the BC NDP at 42%, the BC Greens at 8%, CentreBC at 2%, and OneBC at 2%. For a new party fighting for visibility in a compressed snap election, the useful receipt is not a seat prediction; it is that OneBC is now being measured province-wide at the same decided-vote level as CentreBC in this public Research Co. release.

The same release lists Dallas Brodie’s approval at 26%, an eight-point increase from Research Co.’s August measurement. It also says 41% of likely voters support including both CentreBC and OneBC leaders in the televised debate even though the parties are not running candidates in more than half of B.C.’s constituencies.

Why supporters should care

Good movements are built on receipts. This is a moment to credit Dallas Brodie and OneBC for making the ballot, the public conversation, and the polling table — while staying disciplined about what the numbers do and do not prove.

The positive supporter frame is visibility: OneBC’s platform, candidates, and leader are no longer just internal campaign material. They are part of a measured provincial race, with Brodie’s personal approval moving up from the previous Research Co. benchmark.

What not to overclaim

This is not a seat forecast, riding projection, membership number, fundraising number, or proof of a formal alliance.
The 2% figure is among decided likely voters in one poll, not a guaranteed election result.
The 41% debate-inclusion figure is public support for including OneBC and CentreBC leaders, not confirmation that a broadcaster will do so.
The poll was conducted online from October 9 to October 11 among 808 likely voters, including 687 decided voters, with the margin of error listed by Research Co.

Careful bottom line: OneBC is still a young party, but today’s poll gives supporters a sourced campaign baseline: 2% decided-voter support, Dallas Brodie at 26% approval, and a sizeable minority of likely voters saying CentreBC and OneBC leaders should be included in the debate. That is movement visibility with receipts — not hype.
