Polling Results from the Angus Reid Institute
Posted June 12th, 2026 on Niagara At Large
(A Brief Foreword Note from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large – It does not surprise this journalist and Ontario resident that, according to the latest numbers by the reputable Angus Reid polling institute, Premier Doug Ford’s approval rating is now lower than any other premier in Canada and the approval numbers his political kin Donald Trump is receiving in many polls in the United States. What does make me wonder is that Angus Reid does not also mention Ford’s attack on our democratic and environmental protection institutions, including his recent move to exempt himself and his cabinet from Ontaro’s Freedom of Information legislation) among the reasons for his extraordinarily low rating.)
From Angus Reid –
In Ontario, Doug Ford falls to a personal low after a quarter marked by both economic pressure and self-inflicted wounds. His government has continued to frame its agenda around protecting Ontario from U.S. tariffs, but that message has competed with a budget that is projecting year of deficits, as well as persistent affordability and health-care challenges.
Most damaging may have been the brief purchase of a $28.9-million government jet, which Ford announced was being sold back to Bombardier after significant backlash.
Ford is approved of by 21 per cent of residents, the worst assessment during his (eight years and counting) tenure as premier.
