Manitoba’s Premier continues to be the most popular in Canada.

The latest Angus-Reid poll has Wab Kinew with 66% support.

He is the only premier over the 50 per cent mark.

Alberta’s Danielle Smith, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey and British Columbia Premier David Eby each come in with 46%.

Furey was second in the previous poll in June but lost nine percentage points in this survey.

Eby, who will go to the polls in October, saw his support increase 3% in the last three months.

Saskatchewan’s Scott Moe comes in at 45%, but his support has dipped 4% since June.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is next at 41%, a 3% drop.

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is alone at the bottom with just 30% support heading into a provincial election in October.

Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford’s rating of 31% remains unchanged from June.
