Survey reveals shocking results
A recent poll has shown that Sir Keir Starmer is less popular than every Prime Minister from the last fifty years, with the exception of Liz Truss. The survey found that voters would prefer all of his nine predecessors since Margaret Thatcher over him. Starmer even lags behind Nigel Farage's Reform party in the upcoming local elections.
Results of the poll
The YouGov poll ranked Sir Tony Blair as the most popular PM, followed by Lady Thatcher, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, John Major, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, and Theresa May. This news comes as a blow to Starmer, who is now polling behind Reform in the upcoming elections.
Challenges for Keir Starmer
Sir Keir Starmer's popularity score of -40 is lower than that of Nigel Farage, who has a net favorability rating of -30. This means that more people dislike Starmer than Farage. It is also noted that Kemi Badenoch, another political figure, has a higher favorability rating than Starmer.
Impressions on the Tory leader
While many have already formed opinions on Nigel Farage and Sir Keir Starmer, a significant 31% of respondents replied "don't know" when asked about the Tory leader. This suggests that she still has opportunities to make a positive impact on voters.
