Aboriginal Voter Intentions in Manitoba
Winnipeg – A survey of Manitoba’s Aboriginal voters reveals that indigenous people within the province overwhelmingly prefer the New Democratic Party at the provincial level, but spread their support more evenly when voting in federal elections.
These findings, taken from quarterly surveys by Probe Research Inc. for its Indigenous Voices syndicated study, reveal that when casting ballots in provincial elections, nearly six-in-ten Aboriginal Manitobans (57%) back the governing New Democrats. One-in-five Aboriginal voters (21%) expressed support for the provincial Liberal Party, while fewer than one-in-five (17%)indicated they would cast ballots for the Progressive Conservative Party. Fifteen percent of surveyed Aboriginal adults were unable or unwilling to name a preferred provincial party.
