Premier Wall sees ‘rough reaction’, support fall after provincial budget: Mainstreet poll
The fallout from the March 22 provincial budget continues for Premier Brad Wall.
According to a new poll from Mainstreet Research, 46 per cent of people approve of Wall, just narrowly ahead of the 45 per cent of people who disapprove of him.
“These are very different numbers for Brad Wall than what we usually see,” said David Valentin, executive vice-president of Mainstreet Research, in a news release. “We saw Brad Wall with 52 per cent approval last October with 43 per cent disapproval … his approval and disapproval numbers are now essentially tied.”
As for the opposition, Mainstreet said the NDP now lead in Regina and Saskatoon. Valentin added the Sask. Party still enjoys a “dominant lead” outside the two cities.
