Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger has seen a four-point increase in his approval rating over the last three months, the latest quarterly survey from Angus Reid Global says.
Selinger has the approval of 30 per cent of respondents to the survey — one of the lowest approval ratings of a Canadian premier — but still an improvement from the last quarter, Angus Reid said in a press release.
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall continues to be most popular in Canada with an approval rating of 66 per cent — practically unchanged from June (67 per cent).
In second place is Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil, who has seen his approval rating slip 13 points to 53 per cent from last quarter. Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tom Marshall’s approval rating from respondents in his province is 52 per cent, down seven points from June.
Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard has the job-performance approval of half of respondents in his province (50 per cent), down nine points from last quarter (59 per cent).
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s approval rating is experiencing a post-election surge of eight points among Ontario respondents to 41 per cent — up from 33 per cent since the last quarter, Angus Reid said.
In the midst of a tense labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government, BC Premier Christy Clark’s job approval drops five points to 32 per cent (37 per cent in June).
In Alberta, where Jim Prentice has won the Progressive Conservative membership vote that will make him the next provincial leader, outgoing Premier Dave Hancock’s job performance rating stood at 29 per cent, down ten points from June (39 per cent).
In the midst of an election campaign, New Brunswick premier David Alward won the approval of 27 per cent of respondents in his province, making him the least-approved of premier in the country.
