Polling

  • If an election were held today…

    If an election were held today, the result may tip the balance of what would have been a fraught year or so at the helm for Labour.

    The ongoing demise of the Prime Minister’s popularity as well as the struggle of his Cabinet to make their own away above the noise and clamour of news media would have reflected in a poorer result.

    It’s likely Labour regions may have held firm, or groups of constituencies that see the promise in more affordable housing and intervention for failing or struggling businesses and industries.

    However, single constituencies with less confidence in Labour’s broader plans could have fallen away to vote Conservative for a more open minded plan for change.

    The Conservative party itself would have made significant gains because its leader is promoting herself and her policies with gusto.

    This usually achieves a bounce in its membership and may be enough to help them peak above 200 seats to comfortably challenge an incoming Labour government.

  • Gov. not popular

    The government is struggling with high disapproval.

    According to a YouGov poll on 21 April, 65% of the population disapprove with its current trajectory, compared to 16% that approve.

    A crisis in popularity follows trending crises in news cycles.

  • Gov. approval struggles

    According to YouGov, the government’s approval rating continues to remain stagnant. As of 16 December, it had a 60% disapproval and 20% approval score respectively.

    It suggests a strong divide between its opposition and support. It’s pursuing an unpopular set of policies while also seeing growth in particular parts of the economy.

  • Gov approval up

    In a recent poll for YouGov, the government’s approval rating is creeping up. As of 28 October, it’s at 20% against a 59% disapproval score.

  • Gov takes a hit

    As Sir Keir Starmer’s problems allegedly get worse, his government’s approval rating has taken a slide, also. According to YouGov it stood at 18% on 30 September against a 57% disapproval score.

    It’s a tumble in the wrong direction, of course, and it may be explained by a contentious winter fuel vote as well as the scandal over party donations. If it doesn’t sit well with people it will feed dissatisfaction.

  • Tory woes, Labour gains

    The Conservative Party are on track for their worst ever election result. According to YouGov, Labour could win 425 seats and the Conservatives just 108.

    The latest data is no indication of the final outcome, but it shows that Labour are pumping hard at the polls to get people to vote.
