Nova Scotians say they’re a little less satisfied with the performance of the Dexter government, according to the latest poll by Corporate Research Associates.
The company says just under half of residents are satisfied with the current performance of the Dexter government — 48%, down from 55% in the November 2011 survey. Forty-two per cent are dissatisfied, up to 36%.
“In terms of voting intentions,” says a CRA news release, “support for the governing NDP is stable, with 44 percent of decided voters backing the NDP (compared with 45%). Support for the Liberal Party increased (27%, up from 22%), while support for the PC Party declined slightly (25%, down from 29%). Three percent prefer the Green Party (compared with 4%).”
Premier Darrell Dexter’s personal popularity decreased this quarter, with three in ten preferring Dexter for Premier. Support for Liberal Stephen McNeil, while support for Jamie Baillie of the PC Party increased slightly.
Results are part of the CRA Atlantic Quarterly, and are based on a sample of 806 adult Nova Scotians, conducted from February 8 to February 26, 2012, with overall results accurate to within ± 3.4 percentage points, 95 out of 100 times.
