NATIONAL PULSE – Eby’s approval rating consistent at 46 per cent

By ANGUS REID INSTITUTE

December 4, 2023 – As provincial legislatures wind down for the year, the holiday season offers a chance to reassess and regroup for the province’s leaders.

Neighbouring Premiers Scott Moe and Wab Kinew enjoy majority approval, perhaps bringing more joy to their holidays.

Further east, there are more dour assessments for Premiers Doug Ford and Blaine Higgs, who are in familiar low-approval territory as 2023 comes to an end. However, they are joined by an unfamiliar face: Quebec Premier François Legault, whose approval has declined 16 points from last quarter.

British Columbia Premier David Eby and his government face a looming election in 2024, and all signs point to housing and affordability being the dominant issues.

Eby’s BCNDP introduced five separate housing-related bills this fall. Among the changes are restrictions to short-term rentals and changes to single-family zoning to allow the province to approve multi-family complexes. Eby’s approval rating remains consistent at 46 per cent.
