Conservatives, Liberals Rebound In Manitoba: NDP Loses Ground (Sept. 2010 Federal Party Standings)
Winnipeg – Federal Conservatives and Liberals in Manitoba have reason to cheer while New Democrats and Greens might be licking their wounds after a new Probe Research Inc. poll for the Winnipeg Free Press shows the Conservatives and Liberals have recovered from a slump in voter support in the Keystone Province.
The governing Conservatives continue to enjoy a large lead over their rivals in Manitoba, with nearly one-half of voters (47%) now indicating they would cast ballots for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s party. As the graph on the following page shows, Conservative support has increased by three percentage points in the past three months (from 44% in June to 47%). Meanwhile, Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals have leapfrogged the NDP into second place, climbing to 25 percent support in Manitoba (up from 21% in June).
