  • Premiers Approval Release
    First Quarter 2021 Provincial Premiers Approval Ratings Saskatchewan’s Scott Moe (65% +10), British Columbia’s John Horgan (64% +1), and Québec’s François Legault (63% -7) Garner Top Rankings while Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey Has Perilous Fall (40% -23) Toronto, March 26, 2021— Maru Public Opinion released the first 2021 installment of its long-standing quarterly approval ratings of Canada’s premiers today which finds Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe (65%) ranked the highest of any provincial premier measured—up by ten percentage points since the last sounding in December 2020. Premier Moe is followed closely behind by both British Columbia Premier John Horgan (64%) who is up one percentage point since December and Québec Premier François Legault (63%) who has tumbled down seven percentage points during the same timeframe. The next tier of approval ratings has New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs (57% +1) running ahead of Ontario Premier Doug Ford (48%) who is down five percentage points since December, with Nova Scotia’s new Premier Ian Rankin settling in at 41% for his first provincial approval rating. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister remains at the bottom of the approvals list (37% +2) as he was last month, along with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney who is slightly ahead but remains unchanged from his last rating that is at 39%. The biggest fall from grace though is reserved for Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey who replaced outgoing Liberal premier Dwight Ball and took over the seat of government on August 19, 2020. His first provincial approval rating last September was at 48%, rising to 63% (up fifteen percentage points) by December 2020.
