Premier Tim Houston sees big jump in approval rating

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is starting his second term with a 55 per cent approval rating.

That is according to a quarterly survey from the Angus Reid Institute, which shows he is the second most popular.

Houston has rebounded from the downward trend he saw heading into the November election.

His approval rating had fallen to an all-time low of 41 per cent in September. He peaked at 73 per cent in March 2022.

Meanwhile, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew continues to lead the premier approval ratings at 67 per cent.

Newly-elected New Brusnwick Premier Susan Holt is in third with a 54 per cent approval rating.

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5 among 4,004 Canadian adults.
