The Free Press: NDP popularity rising as Tories fade: poll

Premier Wab Kinew and his NDP government are now the most popular party for both Winnipeggers and Manitobans across the province while Obby Khan has not been able to dent that popularity in the almost two months since he became Tory leader.

A Free Press-Probe Research poll has found the NDP, in seat rich Winnipeg, not only have the support of 62 per cent of voters, but, at 50 per cent, are now nine percentage points higher than the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba beyond the Perimeter Highway.

University of Manitoba political studies professor Christopher Adams said while the Winnipeg number for the NDP is down slightly from the 64 per cent support the party received in the last Free Press-Probe poll in March, it is up a full 10 percentage points since the October 2023 election swept it to a majority government.
