March 31, 2016 (Ottawa, ON) – A new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll finds the PC party picking up suppoWinnipeg as the number of undecided voters drops. The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of e
of +/- 2.27%, 19 times out of 20.
Following the Easter weekend it’s the PC party that seems to have gained momentum” said Quito Ma
President of Mainstreet Research. “The PCs are now leading definitively in Winnipeg. While their leveupport has dropped outside Winnipeg they hold such a large lead it almost doesn’t matter. If the PCs
hold onto these numbers the NDP and Liberals will find themselves virtually wiped out.”
Among Decided and Leaning Voters (province wide): PCs 45% (+1%), NDP 23% (-1%), Liberals 24%
Greens 7% (-)
In Winnipeg the PCs hold a 13% among decided and leaning voters” continued Maggi. “Support is be
plit by the NDP and Liberals, it’s the perfect storm.”
When we look at party support strength the PCs are leading there as well with the vast majority of t
upporters reporting they will not change their minds. Among second ballot preference for voters wmight switch their ballots it‘s the Liberals who come out on top if there is slippage for the PCs or NDP. PCs are essentially tied as the second choice of Liberal supporters, essentially a wash.”
The last opportunity for the NDP and Liberals is now the televised debate. After weeks of campaignBrian Pallister and the PC Party have not made any significant mistakes. The televised leaders’ debate
kely be the last best opportunity to turn this campaign around,” he 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
