CTM2005-Alberta-Rele Canada This Month Public Opinion Research Release Date: May 07, 2020 Alberta Politics Field Dates: May 01, 2020 to May 05, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 2 Alberta Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. In Alberta, approval of the government’s handling of the outbreak has declined since the crisis began – and lags other provinces – but remains high and positive nonetheless, with most Albertans approving of his handling. This has also positively impacted general satisfaction with the government and Kenney’s personal favourability, while the UCP continues to hold a large lead in vote intention. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from our May 2020 Canada This Month survey. This online survey was in field from May 1st to May 5th with a weighted sample size of 300 Alberta residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Alberta are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. 3 Most Albertans approve of the way the provincial government has handled the outbreak; though less than in other provinces STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL COVID-19 Handling: Just over half (54%) say they approve of the way 4 the Alberta government has handled the COVID-19 outbreak Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Alberta Government has handled the outbreak of COVID-19?
