2009 vs. 2013 polling differences

Comparing the polling four years ago to the polling today between the BC Liberals and the NDP show that the NDP is roughly 5 to 7 points ahead of their previous performance. This graph is a little difficult to read quickly, but the dashed lines show the run-up to the 2009 election, while the solid lines show current polling for the 2013 election.

If trends continue, the experiences of the previous three elections leading to the phrase of “The NDP will only be able to obtain 42% of the support of the province in any election” will be shattered this upcoming election. I have always thought that this perceived ceiling was a myth.
