Manitoba's NDP is on the rise according to new polling numbers released Wednesday.
A Probe Research poll, commissioned by CTV News Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Free Press, shows almost half of decided and leaning voters will support the NDP on election day.
In June, both the NDP and Progressive Conservatives were deadlocked with 41 per cent support. But since then, the PCs dropped to 38 per cent, while the NDP gained ground at 49 per cent. Meanwhile, the Manitoba Liberals are at nine per cent.
Across the province, 11 per cent of people asked say they are undecided.
Scott MacKay with Probe Research said the data is pointing to a majority government for the NDP on Oct. 3.
"It really does look that way, especially with the strength in the city," said MacKay.
