Same Leader, Similar Results (March 2015 Manitoba Voting Intentions)
Winnipeg - Political
parties typically see a bump in their popular support after they go through a
leadership campaign. But given that the
recent NDP leadership race resulted in the same person staying on as premier
and party leader, it may not be surprising to see that voter intentions in
Manitoba have not shifted significantly in the latest Probe Research Inc.
survey.
This
Probe Research Inc. survey of 1,005 Manitobans conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press shows that following
the NDP convention which confirmed Greg Selinger’s leadership, NDP support has
inched up slightly to 29 percent among decided voters (up from 26% in December).
Province-wide,
the NDP remain well behind the opposition Progressive Conservatives, who
currently enjoy the support of 44 percent of decided voters (down slightly from
48% in December). One-in-five Manitobans, meanwhile, would cast a ballot for a
Liberal candidate (20%, virtually unchanged from 19% in December). Seven
percent of voters would cast ballots for the Green Party or other parties not
represented in the Legislature (unchanged from December). Twelve percent of
those surveyed were undecided.
