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.

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.

How have Albertans' economic perspectives shifted during the ongoing pandemic? Our latest Viewpoint Alberta research sheds important light. #ableg #COVID19AB

drive.google.com/file/d/19jB8eF…
Viewpoint AB data show that #COVID19 affected the income and employment situations of many Albertans, creating additional financial hardships. Between March-Aug 2020, 27% of Albertans reported employment changes and 53% reported declining incomes due to #COVID19. Image
All Albertans did not face the same hardships. Women, racial minorities, younger gens, and urban residents more often experienced income declines. #AbLeg Image
