How do Albertans feel about the prime minister, premier, and other party leaders? @DrJaredWesley has our latest Viewpoint Research Brief. #ableg 🧵⤵️ 🔗drive.google.com/file/d/11ZX8sp… (n=802, online, Mar 1-8, 2021)
We asked Albertans to use 1 word to describe each major party leader. They used negative words to describe Kenney & Trudeau, positive words to describe Notley, and words to indicate unfamiliarity to describe O’Toole.
Albertans have negative impressions of Trudeau and Kenney. Conversely, Albertans view Singh and Notley more positively than negatively. 1 in 5 Albertans indicated they do not know O'Toole, and his negatives outweigh his positives.
Net favourability scores confirm that Notley and Singh are the only two party leaders who are viewed positively overall in Alberta.
Demographic groups have different feelings toward the leaders. Millennials, non-whites, women, and urbanites view Singh and Notley most favourably. Non-whites are the only group that views Trudeau positively. Kenney was not favoured by any demographic.
Singh & Notley are liked by Albertans w/ some post-secondary education & people with lower incomes, while Trudeau & Kenney have negative favourability scores for all education & income groups. O’Toole does best with the high school educated & those in the mid-low income bracket.
Favourability aligns with self-reported ideology. Those on the right like O’Toole and Kenney the most while those on the left like Trudeau, Singh, and Notley. Left-learning Albertans dislike conservative leaders more than those on the right dislike progressive leaders.
NDP and Liberal voters felt more positively about their party’s leaders than Conservative voters felt about theirs. Federal Liberal supporters favoured Notley almost as much as Trudeau, but provincial NDP supporters did not reciprocate with the same favourability toward Trudeau.

Earlier this year, we teamed up with @Pollara to ask Albertans how they felt about the Freedom Convoy.
TL;DR: 61% of Albertans oppose its objectives & 67% of Albertans oppose its methods.
pollara.com/majority-of-al…
Our survey results show a clear divide along partisan lines. Survey respondents who support the UCP are more likely to support the objectives of the convoy (56%), while only 14% of New Democrat respondents support the convoy.
Older Albertans (65+) were more likely to oppose the objectives of the convoy (70%) compared to those under 65 (59%).

Most Albertans want and expect Jason Kenney to lose his leadership review, according to our latest Viewpoint Alberta survey. @DrJaredWesley discusses the implications for Alberta politics in the months ahead. commongroundpolitics.ca/kenneyreview
Kenney’s popularity has recovered somewhat over the past six months, however, it remains well below that of his primary opponent, NDP Leader Rachel Notley.
Nearly two-thirds of Albertans (63%) hold a negative view of Kenney on this feeling thermometer measure, and only one-in-four hold a positive view.

Think you know a lot about equalization?

In our latest Viewpoint Alberta survey, we posed a series of 8 questions to 600 Albertans.

Now you, too, can take our Equalization Quiz. 🧵
Equalization supports provinces that have weaker than average economies.
The Alberta government sends equalization funds directly to governments of poorer provinces.

How do Albertans and Saskatchewanians feel about their economic situations during the pandemic’s third wave? @MarotoMichelle has our latest Viewpoint Research Brief. #ableg #skpoli drive.google.com/file/d/11PIlBP…
4 in 10 Albertans and 1 in 3 Saskatchewanians reported worsening employment situations since last year. Likewise, Albertans and Saskatchewanians reported income declines in March 2021.
In SK & AB, racial minorities were more likely than white people to report worsening employment situations. Generation Z reported the highest employment effects––nearly half of SK Generation Z respondents and 6 in 10 AB Generation Z respondents reported worsening employment.

Our latest Viewpoint Alberta survey shows the @AlbertaNDP (39%) ahead of the @Alberta_UCP (30%). @DrJaredWesley & @FSnagovsky uncover the sources of this year’s seismic shift in Alberta party politics. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli drive.google.com/file/d/1PCDPwY…
Our measures of party support align well with those from Canada’s leading polling firms, both of whom were in the field at the same time as us (first week of March 2021).
UCP support continues its steady but slowing decline. A key change since August 2020: NDP support has climbed nearly 12 points.
