The Alberta premier’s consistent run in approval ratings is continuing this month.
Latest polling from the Angus Reid Institute shows Danielle Smith has a 45 per cent approval rating – down one percentage point from the previous poll in September.
Smith’s approval has remained within five points since she became the new UCP leader in the fall of 2022.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew topped the Angus poll again for the fifth consecutive quarter with 67 per cent approval. The next most popular premiers are Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston (55 per cent) and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe (52 per cent).
In the middle of the pack are Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey (46), B.C. Premier David Eby (46) and Smith.
The least-approved premiers are Quebec’s François Legault (36) and Ontario’s Doug Ford (34).
The online survey was conducted from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5, 2024 among a randomized sample of 4,004 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum. It polled 404 Albertans with a margin of error of +/- 5%.
