Scott Moe second-most popular premier in country

As federal leaders prepare for the forthcoming election, the non-profit Angus Reid Institute has taken a closer look at Canada’s premiers — and the news is good for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe.

Moe is second only to Quebec’s Francois Legault in terms of popularity. Moe’s approval rating is 63 per cent, one point behind Legault. That does, however, mark a slight dip from his 65 per cent approval rating back in June.

Alberta’s Jason Kenney, elected earlier this year, is in third place with 60 per cent. 

Manitoba’s Brian Pallister, who was re-elected earlier this month, has an approval rating of 48 per cent. That is the highest rating he has enjoyed since 2016.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a rating of just 37 per cent. Angus Reid previously found that Ford is the most likely provincial leader to sway voters in the federal election.  

Nova Scotia’s Stephen McNeil has the lowest approval rating among Canada’s premiers at just 27 per cent.
