December 5, 2023
Satisfaction with the overall performance of the Liberal government in Newfoundland and Labrador led by Premier Andrew Furey has remained stable compared with three months ago, according to the latest survey by Narrative Research. A majority remain satisfied (53%, compared with 57% in August 2023). Satisfaction is elevated on the Avalon compared with elsewhere.
If a provincial election were held today, more than four in ten (44%, compared with 40% in August 2023) decided voters would vote for the Liberals, while just under four in ten would vote for the PCs (38%, compared with 37%). Support for the NDP has declined (16%, down from 23%). Across the province, the Liberals lead on the Avalon, while the PCs lead elsewhere.
Andrew Furey remains the preferred choice for premier. One in three prefer Furey for premier (35%, compared with 32% in August 2023), while one-quarter prefer Tony Wakeham of the PC Party (26%, compared with 24% for next leader last quarter). Preference for NDP leader Jim Dinn as premier stands at 18% (unchanged).
