As Americans head to the polls to cast their vote Tuesday morning, Manitobans seem to also have a say in the election.
A new poll by Mainstreet Postmedia shows a majority of Manitobans would vote for Hillary Clinton.
The polls shows 55 per cent of Manitobans surveyed would cast their ballot for Clinton, while 28 per cent would vote for Donald Trump.
Compared to the rest of Canada, Manitoba is the province that shows the least support for Clinton.

“Hillary Clinton would win a massive majority of the popular vote in Canada if the U.S. election candidates were pitted against one another here,” Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Research said,
“However, Manitoba is the province where Clinton finds the least support, even more though more than half of those surveyed would vote for Clinton if they had a vote today.”
A separate poll of Winnipeg finds similar levels of support with 57 per cent of Winnipegers supporting Clinton, Maggi said.
