Liberal Party Surges in Manitoba Amid NDP Decline as Federal Election Nears
As the federal election approaches, recent polling data indicates a significant shift in Manitoba’s political landscape, with the Liberal Party experiencing a remarkable surge in support, while the New Democratic Party (NDP) faces a substantial decline.
Liberal Resurgence in Winnipeg
A recent Free Press-Probe Research poll reveals that the federal Liberal Party has made significant gains in Winnipeg over the past three months, rising from 24% to 54% support among decided and leaning voters. This surge positions the Liberals ahead of both the Conservatives and the NDP in the city.
NDP’s Declining Support
In contrast, the NDP’s support has plummeted to 9% in both Winnipeg and across Manitoba, marking a decline of 20 percentage points in Winnipeg and 24 percentage points province-wide since December. This significant drop raises concerns about the NDP’s ability to retain its current seats in the province.
Conservative Position
The Conservative Party has seen a decrease in support, now polling at 31% in Winnipeg—a 12 percentage point drop from previous figures. Province-wide, the Conservatives hold 42% support, down from 52% in December.
Implications for the Upcoming Election
These polling trends suggest a potential realignment in Manitoba’s political representation. The Liberals’ resurgence, coupled with the NDP’s decline, could lead to significant changes in the province’s federal seats. The upcoming election will be pivotal in determining whether these trends translate into actual electoral outcomes.
