Majority of Albertans dissatisfied with Kenney’s handling of COVID-19: poll

“We’ve seen a series of moves by Jason Kenney that amount to much too little, much too late”. A new Leger poll shows that the majority of Albertans aren’t happy of Kenney’s COVID-19 response. One expert says it might be difficult for him to overcome politically.

CALGARY (CityNews) ─ Jason Kenney ranked the lowest among provincial premiers for his handling of the COVID-19 health crisis, a new poll suggests.

Fully 80 per cent of Alberta respondents to the Leger poll said they were very or somewhat dissatisfied with Kenney’s performance.

Seventy-six per cent of Alberta respondents opposed the relaxing of public-health orders. Kenney lifted most restrictions over the summer, only to reimpose some recently as the fourth wave of the pandemic swept the province.

Eighty-one per cent of Albertans polled supported proof-of-vaccination requirement, although their province has been the most reluctant to adopt a vaccine passport system.

The poll of 1,537 Canadians was conducted Sept. 24-26.

The online poll cannot be assigned a margin of error as internet-based surveys are not considered random samples.
