The CBCPollcast, hosted by CBC poll analyst and ThreeHundredEight.com founder ric Grenier, explores the world of electoralpolitics,political polls and the trends they reveal.


The Manitoba election campaign is entering its third week, but have the dynamics changed at all since it began?

Joining hostricGrenieragain to discuss how the campaign is unfoldingis the CBC's CameronMacIntosh.

The narrative of the race continues to be about the split of the vote to the left of the leading Progressive Conservatives. Nothing is more emblematic of that battle than the race in Fort Rouge, where Liberal Leader Rana Bokhari is facing off against the NDP's star candidate, Wab Kinew.

Adding to the complications for the New Democrats is timing: a Saskatchewan election that could go badly for the NDP on April 4, and a federal party convention in Edmonton from April 8 to 10 that could go badly for Tom Mulcair distractions that the Manitoba New Democrats don't need as they fight against the odds for re-election.

We get the latest on the Manitoba election campaign from the CBC's Cam Macintosh.
