Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe’s approval rating has fallen two points, according to a recently released poll by the Angus Reid Institute (ARI.) New data from the ARI poll, which polls residents in each province about their premier, shows three of the province’s first ministers, including Scott Moe, fell slightly. The online survey was held Sept. 8-15, with a randomized sample of 4,310 Canadian adults. Moe - the longest-tenured premier - is now at a 48 per cent approval rating, tied for second with Tony Wakeham of NFLD. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is the only leader with majority approval, at 63 per cent. Ontatio premier Doug Ford, who’s been an outspoken critic of U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S., was one of the biggest risers, gaining 10 per cent. Even with the gain, he still ranks at the bottom with an overall approval rating of 31 per cent in his province. B.C. premier David Eby also went up 10 points, now sitting at 41 per cent. “Respondents are drawn from the Angus Reid Forum, a large-scale online panel developed to include Canadian residents in each of the 343 federal ridings in Canada and representative of the Canadian population by age, gender, family income, ethnic status and education,” ARI said about the poll.
