Premier Alward's popularity decreased in recent poll

Premier David Alward

The popularity of New Brunswick's premier has reached an all-time low.

According to a survey released by Corporate Research Associates on Wednesday, March 7th, only 31 per cent of New Brunswickers want David Alward as their premier.

Alward, who also serves as MLA for the Woodstock riding, had a popularity level of 32 per cent in August 2011, the last time his popularity had reached a low.

In February 2011, 42 per cent of people surveyed in the poll preferred David Alward as New Brunswick's leader.

There was a 10 per cent decrease in the amount of people satisfied with the work Alward is doing, while the amount of people unhappy with Alward increased to 41 per cent.

The poll's only positive outcome was that 45 per cent of people surveyed said that if a provincial election were to be held today, they would vote for the Conservatives. That number was the same in November 2011.
