Wed 17 May 2023:
Nearly 60% of UK citizens have a negative opinion of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, according to polling data released on Tuesday by market research firm YouGov.
Just 6% of respondents, appeared to have “very favorable” opinions of the leader of the Conservative Party, according to the findings of the YouGov survey, which was conducted on May 14 and 15 and included 2,012 participants.
A further 25% of respondents characterized their opinion of Sunak as “somewhat favorable,” while 59% of those polled had a negative opinion of Sunak’s leadership, according to the survey. This number included 34% of respondents who rated the premier as “very unfavorable.”
Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition Labour Party, marginally outperformed Sunak in key poll metrics, YouGov reported. Of the respondents, 35% said they had a “favorable” opinion of Starmer compared to 51% who stated the opposite, while 15% didn’t offer an opinion either way.
YouGov’s data reflects similar recent polling which has indicated a swell in support for Labour. Per analysis by Statista this month, 43% of the British public would vote for the Labour Party if a general election were held tomorrow. Just 26% would vote for the Conservatives, who have been the primary governing party in the UK since 2010.
British voters have consistently identified the economy as a key issue, according to extended data trends cited by Statista. Public health, as well as the successful operation of the National Health Service (NHS), immigration reform, and the environment are also considered to be the most important issues facing the UK, polling indicates.
