Liberals and Progressive Conservatives are in a statistical dead heat when it comes to voter popularity according to the most recent poll from Corporate Research Associates. A CRA survey of PEI voters found that 45 per cent of decided voters on the Island back the Liberals (down from 48 per cent in August) and 43 per cent back the PCs, the party of PEI Premier Pat Binns.
The survey of 607 Islanders is accurate to within 4 per cent 95 out of 100 times, the pollster says.
The personal popularity of Premier Pat Binns remains high, with 40 per cent of voters giving him the thumbs up. Liberal leader Robert Ghiz is preferred by 32 per cent of Islanders while NDP leader Dean Constable has the approval of 4 per cent of voters.
