Angus Reid's Premiers' Approval Ratings Aren't Believable Anymore

It's time to look at the history and bias behind these convenient, quarterly self-fulfilling prophecies.

The so-called premiers’ “approval” ratings coming out of the Angus Reid Institute are getting positively embarrassing.

For the Angus Reid Institute.

Annually and on a quarterly basis the Angus Reid Institute, a self-declared “non-profit foundation committed to independent research”, releases provincial voter approval ratings for Canadian premiers.

Every quarter, for as long as I can remember, the Saskatchewan premier’s result crushes the others. Yesterday was no different with a whopping 57% approval in Saskatchewan for Scott Moe.

We know there are way too many Sask Party hyper-partisans floating around this place right now. The Saskatchewan NDP has them too… there’s just far less of them.

By the way, wasn’t Carla Beck supposed to have solved these problems by now? Shouldn’t the NDP be explaining why Moe’s approval ratings haven’t plummeted, now that Saskatchewan voters are no longer comparing him to Ryan Meili?

Almost like Meili was never the problem at all.

Anyway, regardless of how many Sask Party Can Do No Wrong partisans saturate (rural) Saskatchewan, in no world do two out of three balanced, educated and logical Saskatchewan voters approve of Scott Moe.
