I don’t think an approval rate that shuffles up and down by a few points can really be described as “falling” or “rebounding”. I suspect there’s enough statistical noise to create that illusion, but the reality is Carney and the Liberals have had a very long stretch of strong approval, while the Tories remain close to their base level of support and their leader is just not very popular with voters. Even within the supposedly strong demographics, primarily young men, it’s not like the Tory lead is commanding, and even I the heartland of Conservatism in Alberta, the Liberals are showing some pretty unexpected levels of support.

Rebounds from ‘exceptional’ to ‘stratospheric’. Headlines these days; sensationalizing even the mundane for clicks and subs.
