Polls
1 AUGUST 2018 (OTTAWA, ON) – The Progressive Conservatives led by Brian Pallister have nearly a sixteen 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 896 Manitobans between July 15th to 17th. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.27% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.
“Opinion has not shifted much from when we last polled Manitoba in April,” said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet Research. “The PCs still hold a big lead over the NDP and while the Liberals will be buoyed by the fact their leader Dougald Lamont has just won a seat in the Legislature, they remain a distant third.”
Among decided and leaning voters, the PCs have 44.9% (-0.7% from our previous April release), while the NDP led by Wab Kinew come in with 29.3% support (-0.9%). The Liberals with Lamont at the helm currently enjoy 13.6% (+0.6%), and the Greens with James Bedomme as leader have 8.7% (+0.9%).
The PCs lead among both women and men and all age groups, including a nearly 25% lead among respondents older than 65. The PCs also lead in Winnipeg and in the interior of Manitoba, but their lead over the NDP in Winnipeg is only three points.
