Doug Ford Just Got Ranked Canada's Second Most Popular Premier (VIDEO)

His approval ratings have more than doubled in the last six months.
Contributor

Apparently, the pandemic has done wonders for Premier Doug Ford's approval ratings. In The Angus Reid Institute's newest data, Ford holds second place as the country's most approved-of premier.

Who holds first place, you ask? British Columbian NDP Premier John Horgan.

The data shows that Ford's approval rating has increased a great amount since February 2020 — timing that coincides perfectly with the onset of the pandemic in Canada.

During that time, his approval rating more than doubled from 31% to 69%. 

Premier Andrew Furey of Newfoundland and Labrador appears to have the lowest approval rating of the country, which currently sits at 34%.
