VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – He’s number two!

John Horgan is Canada’s second most popular premier in a new survey released this morning by Angus Reid, with 49 per cent support.

He’s just behind outgoing Saskatchewan leader Brad Wall at 53 per cent. Wall will leave politics as most popular premier in the country.

It’s typical for a leader to have high popularity numbers following an election — Christy Clark did back in 2013.

Canada’s least popular premier continues to be Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne who has just 20 per cent support.
