Quebec Premier François Legault’s approval rating took a hit this quarter after seeing his numbers increase slightly earlier in the year.
That’s according to the latest polling from the Angus Reid Institute.
It shows Legault has a 36 per cent approval rating – down from 39 per cent in September.
Only Ontario Premier Doug Ford has less support from his constituents at 34 per cent.
According to Angus Reid’s figures, Legault’s lowest approval rating since first taking office in December 2018 was in December 2023 – at 31 per cent. That number rose slightly in the following 10 months before dipping again.
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), 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 Danielle Smith (45).
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 657 Quebecers with a margin of error of +/- 4%.
