François Legault approval rating drops to 55%

According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, the approval rating of Quebec Premier François Legault has decreased to 55%, 2 points lower than in December when he was the premier with the highest approval rating.

Legault currently sits in fourth place, behind Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador (62%), Scott Moe of Saskatchewan (60%) and Dennis King of Prince Edward Island (58%).

The approval rating of François Legault hit an all-time high of 77% in June 2020; his lowest approval rating was 43%, in September 2022.

“There is a rocky road ahead on the home front for François Legault. Public-sector union contracts with nurses, health professionals, teachers and others expire on March 31 and there has been little progress in contract negotiations.”

The premiers with the lowest approval rating are Heather Stefanson of Manitoba and Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick, who both sit at 25%.
