DEAD HEAT IN WINNIPEG
March 14, 2016 (Ottawa, ON) – A new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll finds a dead heat in Winnipeg betweenProgressive Conservatives and NDP. The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.33%imes out of 20.
The Manitoba election has been largely unremarkable with the Manitoba PCs dominating in supporpolls dating back to late 2015. This signals the first real chink in the armour of Brian Pallister and the with support dropping drastically in seat rich Winnipeg,” said Quito Maggi, President of Mainstr
Research. “A virtual tie in support among voters in Winnipeg exists between the NDP at 34% and the at 32% with a strong 26% for the Manitoba Liberals. Among all voters there are now more undecided vohan before. Combined with the drop in PC support it's now looking like a real race.”
Among Decided and Leaning Voters: PCs 43% (-7%), NDP 27% (+6%), Liberals 24% (+1%), Greens 7% (+
The Manitoba Liberals remained flat but continued to show strong signs of growth potential ameaning undecided voters despite a bad news week. Meanwhile, the NDP who were almost written off
months ago have shown signs of a resurgence in support, although it is concentrated in Winnipeg. Wundecided voters increasing at this stage, it could signal a shift in this campaign to a more competitive han what was expected just a few weeks ago,” continued Maggi.
The danger for the NDP is that 47% of Manitobans want their Premier to have honesty and integrity. O9% of voters who see this as a key attribute for Premier are currently voting for the NDP. The top issuManitoba is taxes (26%), another issue the NDP is weak on (only 4% of voters for whom taxes is the
ssue plan to vote for the NDP). This is a very challenging climate.”
Ultimately we will want to see whether this trend continues. We will be releasing polling about once week in Manitoba so we will have numerous opportunities to confirm and track further movement,”
finished.

“I recommend "Raiders of the Lost Campaign Arc," released Oct. 18, because it’s an interviewwith a pollster that everyone who follows politics should hear. Quito Maggi, of Mainstreet Pub
Research, was the only pollster I saw call the Liberal majority with such confidence, a weekbefore we voted.
Maggi also has the distinction of being the guy who predicted the BC Liberals would win in 20in defiance of the majority of the polls.
His technique involves picking a true bellwether riding and polling it thoroughly. His explanatiofor how he does it is well worth a listen and should be required research for anyone running
political campaign.” - Shannon Rupp, The Tyee, November 4th, 2015
