Progressive
Conservatives to take more than half the vote
NDP, Liberals closely matched, Greens with significant support
TORONTO April
18th, 2016 - In
a random sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 1083
Manitoba voters on the night before the provincial election, the Progressive
Conservatives will take more than half the vote (52%), while the NDP (21%) and
the Liberals (18%) will split most of the balance. The Green Party has an
uncharacteristically robust vote share of one tenth (9%).
14 seat majority seen
If
these results are projected up to the 57 seat Legislature, the PCs would
capture a 14 seat majority of 43, while the NDP would take 11 and the Liberals
3.
“The PCs’ dominance in the vote share isn’t a surprise to any
pollster, but it is interesting to note recent revelations about his Costa
Rican properties don’t seem to have hurt Brian Pallister’s prospects of forming
the next government," said
Forum Research President, Dr. Lorne Bozinoff.
