Few changes in the numbers for Skeena-Bulkley Valley candidates after first week of September campaigning


There have been no wild swings, no bursts of movement, just a steady and constant release of entrenched voting intentions making for the results from Canada 338, as they follow the campaign for the seat in the House of Commons for Skeena Bulkley Valley.

The most recent release of information yesterday from the national group which watches over all of Canada's 338 ridings, has seen a holding pattern for the most part for the Northwest of BC, with NDP candidate Taylor Bachrach still holding a near six percent lead in popular vote projections over Claire Rattée who is keeping to the same pace as the last month or so.

Likewise the numbers for the Liberals and Greens as of September 8th are showing few changes, though Green party candidate Mike Sawyer has seen a slight dip in this weeks returns. 

The People's Party of Canada holds down the last position from this weeks findings, with the CHP not even making for a blip in the data review.


The Odds from 338Canada on who will claim the seat come October 21st continue to be heavily on the side of the NDP ledger, with the Skeena-Bulkley Valley race clearly a two party race with an 80/20 percent split in favour of the NDP.



That may be one  of the few bright spots for the NDP as the campaigning begins to ramp up towards election day in northern BC, with BC Skeena-Bulkley Valley seemingly to be the only seat the party will win north of the Cariboo.


Across Canada, Mr. Bachrach's hopes appear to be one of only two considered likely for his party; though the tea leaves for how many NDP members may arriving in Ottawa following the count of votes presents a pretty dire review of the fate of the party nationally these days.
