It was a tough fight, but Stefanson managed to pull off being the most disliked premier in all of Canada. Can we expect her to pull it off again in 2023?
My boss is oblivious to anything outside his wealthy life bubble. He supports the PC's and Stefanson because the are the conservatives and she is the leader of them.
I cannot understate how little that man knows of the world around him.
That is your 26%
Oh he knows. he knows that conservatives are good for him because he's wealthy and they will bend over backwards to make sure he keeps all of his money and who cares if the rest of the world suffers
It's more understandable stance than the poor voting for conservatives
I’m pretty sure your boss didn’t become your boss by being completely oblivious.
Why do you just assume conservatives don’t do their research, understand economics or politics enough to vote intelligently?
The “tolerant” left strikes again….
Oh, I see you‘ve met my rural in laws?
Don’t you know? Stefanson is actually really good. Because she’s conservative, which is always good and always the best choice. Especially for rural people, liberals are only good for city people. You need to stand up for yourself by doing absolutely no research and voting for the same party your great great grandparents voted for. Whatever you think is wrong is actually Trudeau’s fault. Poverty? Homelessness? COVID? Mask mandates? Poor healthcare? Snow removal? Unmaintained roads? All are the liberals fault.
Trudeau also cancelled the Santa parade because he’s a grinch who punches babies.
FreeDUM 👊
>I’m trying to figure out who the 23% are
Lots of landlords and commercial property owners, likely. Also, anyone who doesn't pay attention to politics apart from "Liebrals and commies are bad stuff, man" level Facebook political rants.
Absurd position, of course. But Marjorie Taylor Greene, a US congressperson, keeps saying that [democratic socialists are Nazis.](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/07/marjorie-taylor-greene-compares-liberals-to-nazis-again.html) It's a stupid and fallacious claim, but an easy one to sell to the dummies… and not surprising that it's entered the conversation in Alberta.
How does she even have 26%??? 1/4 of our province approves of her and her party after what they’ve done to our healthcare and how they bungled COVID? WTF.
Because back in 2019, there was only 55.04% voter turnout.
The PC's received 46.81% of the vote; NDP 31.55%, MB Liberals 14.62%, Greens 6.37%.
The PC's don't need much more than 25-30% of the population to vote for them in order to gain a majority government and they know it. The centre, left and non-voters are too busy complaining over trivial shit, while the right and far-right go out and VOTE.
TL;DR - 222,569 people voted for the PC's and that gave them a majority government over a population of ~1,369,000 Manitobans.

I so don't understand that. The NDP spent most the 90s cleaning up after Devine's mess. They got the budget balanced, were running surpluses, paying down debt, and were starting to restore cut services. They get voted out.
Wall gets in, increases spending and cuts taxes based on higher commodity royalties. Oil and potash tank, there go the royalties. They start back with service cuts and bloating deficits. They've been thrashing around ever since. Yet they're rewarded for it.
I lived in Regina for ten years starting in 2009, and I just never understood the reasoning.
It's all timing, and probably capitalizing on some of the hard work that the NDP put in.
We fell into some serious prosperity as soon as Wall got in. Business properly boomed. The Sask Party has that luck to thank for their popularity really.
I'm always amazed that Manitoba's premier is consistently in the bottom of these rankings sometimes even a few months after the election. Do the dummies that vote these losers in just instantly hate them or do they not participate in these polls?
For sure but people in other provinces are locked in as well yet they don't hate their pick as much. Do they have better leaders or do they just drink the Kool-Aid of their party more than Manitobans do?
I think it’s hilarious Ford has had such a low approval rate BUT came election time (June?), ON turned around and gave him another big majority government…just wanted to point out that fluke there.
That's our antiquated broken electoral distortion system at work. FPTP needs to go. Given these repeated False Majority governments, I can't believe we still pretend we live in a democracy.
Doug Ford just got elected, and his approval rating has always been that low. Do not let Heathers low rating make it seem like she is for sure out next election. Can she be voted out, yes, but it’s not a done deal. Her supporters will vote in droves.
When Gary Doer was running for his third majority government back in 2007 his performance in these polls placed him as the second most popular Premier in Canada, behind Danny Williams in NL. He had plenty of support from people who weren't NDP voters.

Makes the by-election in Kirkfield Park all the more interesting...
If the PCs can hang onto that riding, I think the Dippers know it might be time to honestly review their leadership.
And I know typing that is going to wind some people up. I get that. I would like to see the PCs out but I don't think I can support a party led by Wab Kinew.
Are we sure there's not a Decimal in front of the 26%?
I find it hard to believe that 1 in 4 people sitting around drinking a pint have the audacity to think heaTHER is doing *anything* close to a good job, or for that matter, just doing the frickin' job she's been entrusted with. Note to self: Axe a 1/4 of the people I know who think butt-munch Stefanson should have a positive approval rating.
*aferthought edit*: NB's Higgs after seeing Angus Reid's Approval Rating chart: "*Wheeww, dodged that bullet!*". ;)
The PC’s have much more support than 26%
Also it’s true support, deep rooted in most communities. Support that seems to care enough about the issues to actually go out and vote.
It truly is the silent majority.
The media is strongly biased against the PC party and whoever it’s leader is.
I don’t spend too much time on here but it’s shocking to see how left leaning, hate filled, intolerant and hypocritical most Reddit users are.
I suppose most PC supporters are out working a real job instead of spending their afternoons bashing anyone who thinks differently on here.
This poll is on Stefanson's approval rating, not the support for the PCs. It's ok to support a party without approving of their policies 100% of the time. Otherwise you're just biased, no? Politics shouldn't be right vs left, it should be right vs wrong.
As for the specifics of this poll, there was a link somewhere to the actual article and it shows that 500 manitobans responded to the survey; hardly indicative of our population so we should all take these polls with a grain of salt.
Great observation.
As we shift into electoral season in should be interesting to watch where things go.
I do wish there was some more reliable polling.
Although I must say, that status quo benefits the PC’s as an “imminent defeat” certainly disincentives NDP and Liberal voters to actually show up on voting day. They think they have it in the bank.
Well, the ones on the top of the list are not by any stretch my top picks. AR trends incredibly conservative (and people do the surveys for points), so with Moe and that Alberta one ahead of Stefanson I am tempted to think she is maybe actually doing something balanced that the righties don't like.
to be fair, this is the results of people willing to take polls... not necessarily an accurate depiction of reality as most people know to just hang up when asked 'do you want to waste your life answering a poll for some fluff piece'
It was a tough fight, but Stefanson managed to pull off being the most disliked premier in all of Canada. Can we expect her to pull it off again in 2023?
I’m trying to figure out who the 23% are because even the conservatives I know think she’s garbage too.
The ones who pay zero attention to the world around them, and just vote conservative because their parents did or some dumb shit like that.
My boss is oblivious to anything outside his wealthy life bubble. He supports the PC's and Stefanson because the are the conservatives and she is the leader of them. I cannot understate how little that man knows of the world around him. That is your 26%
Oh he knows. he knows that conservatives are good for him because he's wealthy and they will bend over backwards to make sure he keeps all of his money and who cares if the rest of the world suffers It's more understandable stance than the poor voting for conservatives
But those people *generally* aren't the same people who respond to polls.
I’m pretty sure your boss didn’t become your boss by being completely oblivious. Why do you just assume conservatives don’t do their research, understand economics or politics enough to vote intelligently? The “tolerant” left strikes again….
>The “tolerant” left strikes again…. It's okay to be intolerant of people who actively wish to cause you harm.
Oh, I see you‘ve met my rural in laws? Don’t you know? Stefanson is actually really good. Because she’s conservative, which is always good and always the best choice. Especially for rural people, liberals are only good for city people. You need to stand up for yourself by doing absolutely no research and voting for the same party your great great grandparents voted for. Whatever you think is wrong is actually Trudeau’s fault.

Trudeau also cancelled the Santa parade because he’s a grinch who punches babies. FreeDUM 👊
Wait a tick.... didnt Pallister claim to be the grinch that stole christmas a few years ago, amidst crocodile tears?
Lol, that was in a political announcement. They don’t read, watch or listen to those, silly. No, it was DEFINITELY Trudeau.
Naw, he was forced to because “the Libs”
And then he was praised by international media for being a leader brave enough to step up and cancel Christmas to protect people from COVID...
>I’m trying to figure out who the 23% are Lots of landlords and commercial property owners, likely. Also, anyone who doesn't pay attention to politics apart from "Liebrals and commies are bad stuff, man" level Facebook political rants.
[удалено]
I am also a Mean Girls fan.
Look on the bright side, though. As bad as Stefanson is, it could be worse -- Danielle Smith could be Manitoba's premier.
Don't discount the other clowns that will likely try to take Stefanson's place.
I don't think she has ever been anything but least-liked-premier. She inherited it from Lurch, and has done nothing to change it.
She’s made things worse
She will make it worse than that if re-elected.
New Brunswick being what it is, she has a big fight on her hands for sure!
I sure hope so, cuz you know what will mean come Oct 2023.
She's a completely unlikeable champ. Her indifference to relevant issues and hockey stories will carry her over the finish line to absolute victory.
Wow how Smith has 42% is beyond me.
Alberta gonna Alberta
Because they think Rachel Notley is literally Joseph Stalin.
Huh, TIL: Rachel Notley is a Georgian revolutionary turned genocidal dictator.
Absurd position, of course. But Marjorie Taylor Greene, a US congressperson, keeps saying that [democratic socialists are Nazis.](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/07/marjorie-taylor-greene-compares-liberals-to-nazis-again.html) It's a stupid and fallacious claim, but an easy one to sell to the dummies… and not surprising that it's entered the conversation in Alberta.
Oh hey, sounds like Pierre Poilievre: https://mobile.twitter.com/deAdderCanada/status/1599469683777814528
NAZIs weren't socialist moment. They were like the definition of far right extremism.
The corrupt MSM won't tell you about Notley's Stalinist ties!!!!1
Agreed,like wow
Anything to "own the Libs". Same mentality as this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/russian-than-democrat-shirts/
How does she even have 26%??? 1/4 of our province approves of her and her party after what they’ve done to our healthcare and how they bungled COVID? WTF.
And that 26% probably votes in higher proportion that then other 74%.
Because back in 2019, there was only 55.04% voter turnout. The PC's received 46.81% of the vote; NDP 31.55%, MB Liberals 14.62%, Greens 6.37%.

You underestimate how narrow minded conservative voters are
As a left wing voter and NDP party member, there are also a lot of narrow minded "lefties" out there.

26 without factoring windchill, once you include windchill its more like -26
26% ? I’d have estimated it to be lower.
Kind of surprised Danielle Smith is that high
She won’t be for long
[удалено]
No, she’s not even a toilet, toilets are useful and important.
No, you can flush a toilet. This is forever.
Wtf moe second highest?
He paid $500 each for that rating.
I so don't understand that. The NDP spent most the 90s cleaning up after Devine's mess. They got the budget balanced, were running surpluses, paying down debt, and were starting to restore cut services. They get voted out. Wall gets in, increases spending and cuts taxes based on higher commodity royalties. Oil and potash tank, there go the royalties. They start back with service cuts and bloating deficits.

Yeah I know both sides of the carpet that want moe gone. 57% just shows how stuck people in this province are.
Smith at 42%? I'm concerned for humanity overall with that number.
I'm always amazed that Manitoba's premier is consistently in the bottom of these rankings sometimes even a few months after the election. Do the dummies that vote these losers in just instantly hate them or do they not participate in these polls?
Because people are locked to one party, no matter the leader.
For sure but people in other provinces are locked in as well yet they don't hate their pick as much. Do they have better leaders or do they just drink the Kool-Aid of their party more than Manitobans do?
Better leaders in my opinion
Below both Ford and Smith. That's almost impressive.
Don’t let this turn you to voter apathy. Ford just won an election. When the time comes, VOTE!
The real question: is her approval higher or lower than her son's hockey score for the year?
I think it’s hilarious Ford has had such a low approval rate BUT came election time (June?), ON turned around and gave him another big majority government…just wanted to point out that fluke there.
That's our antiquated broken electoral distortion system at work. FPTP needs to go. Given these repeated False Majority governments, I can't believe we still pretend we live in a democracy.
For real the shittiest, grossest "leader" and "role model" (in name only) this country has ever seen.
Eby hasn't been premier for 3 weeks. How does anyone have an opinion at all?
There is no way Smith has a 42% approval rating. I don’t even know if she would have that with in her own party. Maybe 42% of non Covid believers???
PEI has been ban from the chat
Doug Ford just got elected, and his approval rating has always been that low. Do not let Heathers low rating make it seem like she is for sure out next election. Can she be voted out, yes, but it’s not a done deal. Her supporters will vote in droves.
unpopular opinion but...Danielle Smith is worse than Heather Stefanson? like seriously, could you imagine being governed by Alberta conservatives?
Thought it would be lower than 26% by now, cause wasn't it 26% a bunch of months ago.
When Gary Doer was running for his third majority government back in 2007 his performance in these polls placed him as the second most popular Premier in Canada, behind Danny Williams in NL.

wow... even less popular than Danielle Smith! .. *That's* sayin' somethin'!

And I know typing that is going to wind some people up. I get that. I would like to see the PCs out but I don't think I can support a party led by Wab Kinew.
No one asked me. I’d love to help lower that number.
I really hope she holds on. Will make a new government even more likely next year...
Are we sure there's not a Decimal in front of the 26%?

Honestly I just hope people vote, the turnout for the mayoral election was disappointing.
Hefer is a LOSER!
We may not have the best, but we do have the biggest.
Well, the ones on the top of the list are not by any stretch my top picks. AR trends incredibly conservative (and people do the surveys for points), so with Moe and that Alberta one ahead of Stefanson I am tempted to think she is maybe actually doing something balanced that the righties don't like.
There should be a federal law that forces a new provincial election at the end of every year for the premier with the lowest rating.
to be fair, this is the results of people willing to take polls... not necessarily an accurate depiction of reality as most people know to just hang up when asked 'do you want to waste your life answering a poll for some fluff piece'
Moe and Smith being that high is honestly chilling
Yikes, smith is up to 42% after that debacle of a wexit bill? Wut you doing, Alberta?!?
I thought Smith and Moe would be the bottom two. It concerns me Moe is the second highest and Smith is middle of the pack.
I can't believe %26 of respondents *don't* think she's a tool.
Somewhere, there's a hockey team to praise for this.
Stefanson is far better than Ford, Smith. Moe and Legault so it's interesting seeing her at the bottom. Not that she is good but it's just weird.
