Ford's approval rating has absolutely plummeted over the past year. In spring 2020, the Ontario premier was sitting at an approval rate of 70% among Ontarians. Now, his rating is only 35%.

Jason Kenney has seen a dip of nine percentage points in just three months. He now has a 31% approval rating. Sitting between the two is Manitoba's premier, Brian Pallister, with a rating of 33%.

Meanwhile, the premier with the highest amount of support is Francois Legault of Quebec with 66%. Next in line is John Horgan, B.C.'s leader, with 63%.
