Pallister PCs Maintain Healthy Lead Over NDP As Liberals Gain Five

15 AUGUST 2018 (OTTAWA, ON) – The Progressive Conservatives led by Brian Pallister have nearly a fourteen point lead over the opposition NDP.

Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a conglomeration of ten provincial polls. The poll surveyed 735 Manitobans between November 3rd and November 5th. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.61% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.

“The Pallister PCs hold a solid lead over the NDP despite losing two points since we last polled in August,” said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet Research. “The big mover in our poll is Dougald Lamont and the Liberals as they have climbed five points”

Among decided and leaning voters, the PCs have 42.3% (-2.6% from our previous August release), while the NDP led by Wab Kinew come in with 28.7% support (-0.5%). The Liberals with Lamont at the helm currently enjoy 18.1% (+4.5%), and the Greens with James Bedomme as leader have 6% (-2.7%).

The poll also asked Manitobans about their impressions of the party leaders. While every leader scored a net negative favourability rating, Wab Kinew had the best score with -5.5%.
