   Christy Clark's approval rating continues to slide in B.C.: poll   
       
   Less than a third of British Columbians are happy with Christy Clark's   
   performance as premier, according to a new poll.   
      
   Clark's approval rating now sits at 30 per cent, putting her ahead of only New   
   Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant (27 per cent) and Manitoba Premier Greg   
   Selinger in a Canada-wide survey from Angus Reid Institute.  When the pollster   
   last measured Clark's    
   popularity in March, she fared only slightly better, earning the approval of   
   33 per cent.   
      
   The B.C. premier has never had the approval of more than half of her   
   constituents, according to Angus Reid polling. Her highest rating was 45 per   
   cent in June 2013.   
      
   The pollster's online survey of 6,291 Canadians, conducted between May 26 and   
   June 7, found that Saskatchewan's Brad Wall continues to be the most popular   
   premier in the country.  While his approval rating has fallen seven points   
   since September, Wall    
   still sits at 61 per cent, edging out newly elected Alberta Premier Rachel   
   Notley, who clocked in at 53 per cent.   
      
   The survey was conducted before the Alberta Throne Speech on June 15, when   
   Notley signalled plans to raise corporate and personal income taxes and reform   
   campaign donations.  The survey's authors say that they'll be able to get a   
   more accurate reading of    
   the premier's popularity in three months, after Albertans have had a chance to   
   digest some of Notley's policy changes.   
      
   The survey results do not include approval ratings for PEI Premier Wade   
   MacLauchlan or the territorial premiers. The Angus Reid Institute claims a   
   margin of error of +/- 1.2 per cent, 19 times out of 20.   
      
   The premiers' approval ratings, ranked:   
      
   Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall: 61 per cent   
      
   Alberta Premier Rachel Notley: 53 per cent   
      
   Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Paul Davis: 39 per cent   
      
   Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard: 39 per cent   
      
   Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil: 37 per cent   
      
   Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne: 31 per cent   
      
   B.C. Premier Christy Clark: 30 per cent   
      
   New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant: 27 per cent   
      
   Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger: 23 per cent
