Polls were for dogs (VI)

Real Leadership is not governing by polls but it is listening and responding to all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

- The Word of Our Dan, 2000

MR. LODER: Globally, the economic downturn has produced many challenges, and Newfoundland and Labrador has certainly not been immune to its impact. As a result of this government’s prudent fiscal management, however, we have gotten through it relatively well compared to some other provinces. This sound approach is very much appreciated and endorsed by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, as demonstrated by the people’s overwhelming approval rating of this government and our Premier in independent public opinion polls, and we can proudly boast that Newfoundland and Labrador has the most popular Premier in this country today.
