At 57 per cent, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has the highest approval rating in Canada, according to a poll from Angus Reid Institute released on Wednesday.
Despite receiving the highest approval rating, Moe saw a three per cent decline from a similar poll released in March.
According to Angus Reid, almost three-in-five residents offered a positive assessment of his performance.
Moe’s highest approval rating came in the springs of 2019 and 2020 when it was 65 per cent, the poll says.
His lowest approval rating was 43 per cent in September 2021, according to the poll.

Manitoba’s Heather Stefanson had the lowest approval rating of the poll at 25 per cent.
Newly elected Alberta Premier Danielle Smith received an approval rating of 45 per cent.
