Brad Wall most popular premier but saw pre-budget drop: report

Mar 24, 2017 | 3:19 PM

Premier Brad Wall remained the most popular premier in Canada, according to the latest study from the Angus Reid Institute. The study was conducted before the provincial budget was announced on March 22.
 
The study also revealed that, while Wall remains the most popular among provincial leaders, his popularity is sliding.
 
Wall experienced the largest quarterly decline in the poll, as he fell six points to 52 per cent support, his lowest approval rating in seven years of data available to the Angus Reid Institute.
 
This comes in light of an increasing projected deficit.
 
Next door in Alberta, Premier Rachel Notley saw her approval rating remain the same. However, at only 31 per cent, Notley is the fifth popular premier.
 
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne saw her approval rating fall to an all-time low of 12 per cent.
 
The only premier to see an increase in job approval is Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. His approval rating rose five per cent following the shooting at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City that left six people dead.
