Jason Kenney's approval rating plummets in the wake of steep Alberta budget cuts

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is feeling the political effects of budget cuts his government announced in October, with his approval rating plummeting 15 percentage points in a matter of months.

Kenney took a number of measures to buffer himself against political blowback, including forming an independent panel to analyze the province’s fiscal situation and giving a primetime address to Albertans on the night before the budget was unveiled. The UCP leader may also be suffering from the political fallout of the decision to fire the election commissioner, a move that led to Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley making an extraordinary call to the Lieutenant-Governor to block the legislation.

All Jason Kenny has to do now is to 'revert' to Cursing Liberals in Ottawa or you know who - his approve will then jump.

Tough methods, no results. Not a good combination. The 'Bozos' and 'lake of fire folk' dont help.

Well that is what happens when you f*ck an entire province without giving them a kiss first. jkenney will be a one term disaster. abpoli cdnpoli Gaslighting

Lol...nice try . We arent buying your bullshit!

Alberta shedding jobs due to Liberal govt. Budget cuts necessary after having govts with 0 fiscal prudence. Why are there still people that think you can spend without consequence? 1 taxpayer with less disposable income. (Except for the extra $25/mnth over 4 yrs from Fed cuts)

Kenney is overconfident

No worries his approval will go back up after he cleans up the mess Rachel made.

Alberta’s problems all lay at Trudeau’s feet every time a communist part in Canada make s a mess the conservatives have to clean it up and they get called down don’t vote NDP liberal or green the all cause the problem

Absolute nonsense to claim the approval rating dropped because he cut spending from $56.3b to $56.5b. My guess is jkenney approval dropped because he has failed to take meaningful action to stop Ottawa's deliberate destruction of our industry and economy UCPCaucus abpoli

Yet this same poll had Notley high pack and she miserably lost the election. 🧐

Follow Ralph screw these unions Their greed knows no bounds

Steep cuts really 3% is steep your headline is stunningly garbage. Do better. Racing to catch the CBCNews in the basement?

A Premier with the courage to do what is needed - now that’s refreshing!

It's called accountability and a balance of getting our economy back o track...while belt tightening is needed... Extreme cuts hurting families is not

oh! please shut up! A blatant lie🤢🤡

Keep it Jason Good job

Alberta

It's not just the cuts....... JustSaying

Fake polls!!! Be careful who you follow, find the info for yourself. Lies on all party levels. Be smart! ✌🏻

How many really believe he came in to become ‘Mr Popular’? If you have better alternatives with the GreenParty, Liberals or NDP let’s do something. Truth is, NDP is largely responsible for this mess. Going to bed w/Trudeau want a smart move. Was it? cdnpoli

What did Albertans think they were voting for exactly? How did they not see this coming?

To be expected when the Nurses and Teachers Unions are all up in arms. He has shown leadership by putting a hold on their Publicly funded credit card and the taxpayers in Alberta have put them on a budget! A degree is only a degree, not a gold mine.

Is it really the budget cuts or the capitualtuon to Trudeau and the carbon tax?

Always amazes me when people elect Conservative governments and are then surprised by budget cuts. What do they think they are voting for?
