Most Canadian premiers have had their approval ratings drop since June, after skyrocketing in the early days of the pandemic, concludes a new poll released Monday.

The survey, conducted by poll specialist Maru/Blue, asked 5,344 randomly selected Canadians about their respective premier’s performance between Aug. 28 and Sept. 8. The results were then compared to similar data collected in June. The poll’s margin of error is 1.6 percentage points, according to the company.
