Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has an approval rating of 54 per cent, according to a recent survey conducted by the Angus Reid Institute.

Moe’s approval rating is up four percentage points from a similar survey conducted in September.

According to the poll, 350 people in Saskatchewan were asked to give an opinion on Moe, of those 350, 25 per cent strongly approved of him and 19 per cent moderately approved. Thirty-four per cent however strongly disapproved of Moe.
