NDP revival attributed to new organizing and deep desire for change in New Brunswick

September 3, 2009

An opinion poll released today by Corporate Research Associates reveals the New Brunswick NDP has risen to 22% support amongst voters, an historic high.  Roger Duguay, Leader of the NB NDP, enjoys a personal approval rating that has risen to 16%.  While the recent victory of Darrell Dexter’s NDP in Nova Scotia certainly plays a part, Duguay feels the Party’s recent organizing drives are responsible this success.

Duguay feels the NDP’s new level of organization in New Brunswick makes the Party more visible and responsive to New Brunswickers.

“We are New Brunswickers, we’re a grass roots party and we’re stronger in numbers, organization, and resources than we have been in some time,” states Duguay.

However, Duguay feels there is also a strong desire for change amongst the people that is equally responsible for the poll increases.

“What we see in community halls, and around kitchen tables is everyday New Brunswickers with stories of dissatisfaction and struggle in their lives, but still hopeful for change,” states Duguay,  “The NDP is picking up on this deep desire for change in New Brunswick and I think the opinion polls are starting to show it as well,”
