It would be similar to saying Trudeau has relatively few people who dislike him (61% approval rating right now), but we all know there is a decent amount of very vocal detractors.

(It's important to divorce leader approval ratings from party vote percentages in this comparison, especially because the 2-party Sask race is fundamentally different than the 4.5 party federal race.... Giving the greens a half count federally).
The use of "relatively" means compared to others. There are few politician in North America who have a lower disapproval rating. Selinger is in the mid-70's disapproval.
