Health Care, Crime Top Campaign Agenda (2011 Manitoba Election Issues Survey)
Winnipeg – With health care and crime foremost on the minds of most Manitoba voters, the New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives can each lay claim to holding public confidence on one of these pressing concerns. Health care is an area where voters expect a better performance from the NDP, while voters are more likely to turn to the PCs for solutions to their fears about crime. These findings emerged from a province-wide telephone survey of 1,000 adults conducted by Probe Research exclusively for the Winnipeg Free Press.

Other survey findings reveal that voters are more likely to entrust the Progressive Conservatives to manage economic issues, while voters are more likely to view the NDP as the party best suited to improve public education and manage the province’s largest public utility, Manitoba Hydro.

This province-wide survey was designed and conducted by Probe Research Inc. via telephone interviews conducted between September 21st and September 28th, 2011 among a random and representative sampling of 1,000 Manitoba adults. With a sample of 1,000, one can say with 95 percent certainty that the results are within +/- 3.1 percentage points of what they would have been if the entire adult population of Manitoba had been interviewed. The margin-of-error is higher within each of the survey’s population subgroups. Modified random-digit dialing was used to ensure that all Manitoba adults would have an equal opportunity to participate in this Probe Research survey. Minor statistical weighting has been applied to this sample to ensure that the age and gender balance correspond with the province as a whole.
