PALLISTER PCs MAINTAIN HEALTHY LEAD OVER THE NDP AS LIBERALS
GAIN FIVE

15 AUGUST 2018 (OTTAWA, ON) – The Progressive Conservatives led by Brian

Pallister have nearly a fourteen point lead over the opposition NDP.

Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a

conglomeration of ten provincial polls. The poll surveyed 735 Manitobans
between November 3rd and November 5th. The poll has a margin of error of
+/- 3.61% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.

“The Pallister PCs hold a solid lead over the NDP despite losing two points since
we last polled in August,” said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet
Research. “The big mover in our poll is Dougald Lamont and the Liberals as
they have climbed five points”

Among decided and leaning voters, the PCs have 42.3% (-2.6% from our previous
August release), while the NDP led by Wab Kinew come in with 28.7% support
(-0.5%). The Liberals with Lamont at the helm currently enjoy 18.1% (+4.5%),
and the Greens with James Bedomme as leader have 6% (-2.7%).

The poll also asked Manitobans about their impressions of the party leaders.
While every leader scored a net negative favourability rating, Wab Kinew had
the best score with -5.5%.

Methodology
The analysis in this report is based on results of a survey conducted between November
3rd to November 5th, 2018, among a sample of 735 adults, 18 years of age or older, living in
Manitoba. The survey was conducted using Interactive Voice Recording. Respondents were
interviewed on both landlines and cellular phones. The survey is intended to represent the
voting population of Manitoba.

This survey was conducted by Mainstreet Research and has not been sponsored by any
third-party organization.

The sampling frame was derived from both a national telephone directory compiled by
Mainstreet Research from random digit dialing.

At least two attempts were made to complete an interview at every sampled telephone
number. The calls were staggered over times of day and two days to maximize the chances
of making contact with a potential respondent. Interviewing was also spread as evenly as
possible across the field period.

The questionnaire used in this survey is available in this report and online at www.
mainstreetresearch.ca. Questions are asked as they appear in the release document. If
a question is asked of a subset of the sample a descriptive note is added in parenthesis
preceding the question.

The sample was weighted by population parameters from the Canada 2016 Census for adults
18 years of age or older in Canada. The population parameters used for weighting are age,
gender, and region.

The margin of error for this poll is +/- 3.61% at the 95% confidence level. Margins of error are
higher in each subsample.

The margins of error for each subsample is as following: Males: +/- 4.82%, Females: +/-
5.47%, 18-34 age group: +/- 7.35%, 35-49 age group: +/- 7.04%, 50-64 age group: +/-
6.75%, 65+ age group: +/- 7.95%, Winnipeg: +/- 4.81%, Rest of Manitoba: +/- 5.48%.

Totals may not add up 100% due to rounding.

In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that the wording of questions and
practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of
opinion polls. Moreover, all sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of
error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.
