Poll finds Saskatchewan Party popular, but not all decisions are

Jun 20, 2012 | 3:09 PM

The Saskatchewan Party now knows how unpopular some of its recent decisions in government are, but the numbers aren’t worrying its members.

Of the people surveyed by Insightrix, more than 60 per cent said they'd still vote for the Saskatchewan party.

But nearly that many also say they disapprove of the addition of three new MLAs and the move to cut the film employment tax credit.

While it may be seen as good news overall, Economy minister Bill Boyd says the government doesn't put THAT much stock in such polls.

“I guess you pay attention to some degree. This early in the mandate is not a real big thing,” said Boyd.

He says that's because voters don't really have a unanimous opinion.

“You don’t get a consistent message at any given time,” said Boyd.

He concedes the disapproval on specific issues could eventually lead to lower approval numbers, but he says the government is comfortable with where it’s at right now.
