Polls
30 January 2019 (Ottawa, ON) – The Progressive Conservatives have surged and find themselves in a statistical tie with the governing Liberals with an election scheduled later this year.
Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a conglomeration of ten provincial polls. The poll surveyed 583 Newfoundland and Labrador residents between January 12th and January 14th. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.07% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.
“The Liberals continue their slide at less than an ideal time with an election on the horizon,” said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet Research.
Among decided and leaning voters, the Liberals have 42% support (-2.6% since November), while the PCs come in with 43.3% (+4.2%). The NDP led by Gerry Rogers have 11.3% (-1.3%).
The PCs lead among men while the Liberals lead among women. The PCs have a strong lead among 18-34s, and the Liberals have a significant advantage among voters older than 65. The Liberals have nearly a five point lead in St. John’s while the PCs have almost a three point lead in the rest of the province.
