More than half of voters think Starmer should resign as approval rating slumps - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Reform is currently on 31% (+1 on a fortnight ago) of the vote, followed by Labour 22% (-1), the Conservatives 17% (-1), and the Liberal Democrats 12% (n/c). When looking at voting intention among those who voted Labour in the General Election in 2024, only 67% would pick Labour again, whilst 12% would now choose Reform, 6% Liberal Democrats, 6% the Green Party, and 2% would vote for the Conservatives."
"Keir Starmer's approval rating has suffered a further slump, dropping 2 points in the last fortnight to net -42%. This is joint with Rishi Sunak's lowest score post:"D-Daygate" (net -42%) and almost near Boris Johnson's net -44% after his government collapsed. Perhaps more damningly, 2024 Labour voters only just give him a net positive rating, with 39% disapproving of the job he is doing while 41% approve."
"Just over half (54%) of UK adults now think Starmer should resign, including a third (34%) of 2024 Labour voters. By way of comparison, this is higher than the 45% who called for Sunak to resign in April 2024. When asked about who would be the best replacement, Andy Burnham is the top pick (13%), followed by Wes Streeting (5%). Burnham has the highest net acceptability (+12 acceptable), with Streeting in second place (-4 acceptable)."
Reform leads current voting intention at 31%, followed by Labour on 22%, the Conservatives on 17% and the Liberal Democrats on 12%. Among 2024 Labour voters, 67% would choose Labour again while 12% would choose Reform, 6% the Liberal Democrats, 6% the Green Party and 2% the Conservatives. Keir Starmer's net approval has fallen to -42%, with 41% approving and 39% disapproving among 2024 Labour voters. Only 23% think Starmer would make the best Prime Minister, with 52% preferring neither leader. Fifty-four percent of UK adults say Starmer should resign; Andy Burnham is the top replacement pick (13%).
