More than one year after being elected Manitoba’s premier, the honeymoon period is not over for Wab Kinew.
The Manitoba NDP leader is the most-approved premier in the country for the fifth consecutive quarter, according to a new poll by the Angus Reid Institute.
It found Kinew’s approval rating is 67 per cent.
“Kinew has delivered policies to address key campaign promises – affordability and health care – while acknowledging some issues will take more than a year in office to fix, especially when it comes to the latter,” the Angus poll determined.
The next most popular premiers are Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston (55 per cent), New Brunswick’s Susan Holt (54 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 Alberta Premier Danielle Smith (45).
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 346 Manitobans with a margin of error of +/- 5%.
