Rishi Sunak’s campaign is faltering, with polls showing voters reject his strategies. Low approval ratings and government dissatisfaction plague the Conservative Party. Labour leads on key issues, and new policies fail to change public opinion, adding to fears of a significant Conservative defeat.
Rishi Sunak’s campaign is faltering, with recent polls indicating that voters reject his strategies and believe their future would be more secure without him.
The Conservative campaign, attempting to spotlight Sunak as a strong leader, is undermined by his low approval ratings, comparable to Jeremy Corbyn's in 2019 and Gordon Brown’s during the financial crisis.
Meanwhile, Keir Starmer of the Labour Party maintains a significant leader ratings advantage.
Voters hold the current government in low regard, with over 60% rating its performance poorly on all issues but defense and security.
Polls from Ipsos show 83% voter dissatisfaction with government performance, and 67% believe the Conservatives do not deserve re-election.
Labour now leads on key issues, including the economy, which was traditionally a Conservative stronghold.
New Conservative policies have failed to sway public opinion, and
Nigel Farage’s return as Reform UK leader further destabilizes Sunak’s efforts.
As public opinion turns increasingly negative, with recent Opinium polls showing growing support for Labour, speculation mounts over a potentially catastrophic defeat for the Conservatives.
