A new opinion poll suggests Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger’s approval rating is at an all-time low.

Only 17 per cent of respondents to the Angus Reid survey said they approve of Selinger’s performance.

That is down from 30 per cent from a similar poll in September.

Selinger has been fending off a revolt by some caucus members, including five former cabinet ministers who resigned their portfolios last month.

The television ratings for Sunday’s 102nd Grey Cup between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Calgary Stampeders were down slightly from last season.

An average of 4.1 million viewers tuned in to TSN to watch the Stampeders edge the Ticats 20-16, according to preliminary data from the audience measurement firm Numeris.

That was down from the 4.5 million who watched last year’s game between Hamilton and Saskatchewan.
