A majority of respondents in a recent poll by Leger say they are dissatisfied with the response to COVID-19 in Saskatchewan.  

The poll, which was released Saturday morning, showed 56 percent of respondents in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are totally dissatisfied with the measures put in place by the provincial governments to deal with COVID-19. When asked about their thoughts on how Premier Scott Moe has handled the pandemic, 74 percent were very or somewhat dissatisfied. Only Alberta Premier Jason Kenney had a higher percentage of residents dissatisfied. 

The four percent who stated they were very satisfied with how things were handled was the lowest in the country. 

Another question in the survey looked at whether people thought the worst of the pandemic was behind us, and thirty one percent stated they think we are in the worst period of the crisis, with 21 percent saying the worst was yet to come.  

The poll also looked at how people felt restrictions related to COVID-19, with 78 percent of the respondents in Saskatchewan stating they don’t think any should be lifted at this point in time.
