I think polls are pretty meaningless here. No one like Clarke, but the BC system is so abysmal, there aren't many other options.
The NDP presents itself as a leftwing alternative, but in reality is simply a labour party. They'll put the unions above all else. They have no true politics or ideologies, other than supporting the unions.
It's more a situation of people being forced to vote for Clarke. When it comes time to vote many people will bite their lip and just vote Clarke, despite her being pretty abysmal. These people are not likely to run to the polls and declare their support ahead of time.
There's also a very large socially conservative element in BC. They've been shouted down enough times that they've learned to largely keep their mouth shut. These people hate abortion, gay marriage, etc..There are vocal elements among them, but their numbers are much higher than you'd think. The Liberal government panders to them quietly.
It's great for the Greens to have a voice, but few believe they could actually run a functional government. Many of their candidates are totally unqualified.
