In almost all cases, these polls are self-published in order to provide some publicity for the polling firm.
Testing how Kevin Falcon performs when he's presented as the leader of B.C. United vs. the B.C. Liberals is an interesting exercise — I think there is some value to that considering how much we've been discussing the impact of the party's re-branding. But to combine the results from the two questions makes no sense to me.
Why would Mainstream do that - combine two different questions and with one asking as if a party leader leading a party with its old name?
It's gotta be a headline stunt right?
I'm glad The Writ pointed this out. Who paid for the polls by these firms they discuss could also be a regular thing to work in.
