Wasylycia-Leis Still Leads Winnipeg Mayoral Race
Winnipeg – With three weeks remaining until Winnipeggers cast ballots in the municipal election, Judy Wasylycia-Leis is poised to become Winnipeg’s mayor, a new Winnipeg Free Press-CTV Winnipeg survey conducted by Probe Research Inc. shows.
Ms. Wasylycia-Leis, who has been the clear frontrunner in previous Probe Research Inc. surveys, currently has the support of more than four-in-ten decided voters (41%). First-time candidate Brian Bowman has pulled ahead of other challenges to establish himself in second place – but with 23 percent support, he continues to trail Ms. Wasylycia-Leis by a significant margin as the campaign draws to a close. Former St. Vital councillor Gord Steeves is now well back of these two front-runners with the backing of only 16 percent of the civic electorate.
The four remaining candidates are all in the single-digit range of support: Robert-Falcon Ouellette (9%), David Sanders (5%), Paula Havixbeck (4%) and Michel Fillion (2%).
