Keir Starmer hits new low in personal popularity ratings
Briefly

Keir Starmer's personal ratings have plummeted further during his first Labour conference as Prime Minister, sinking to their lowest ever levels, significantly trailing Rishi Sunak. With a disapproval rating of 50% and an abysmal net rating of -30, this decline reflects broader discontent within the party ranks sparked by recent policy decisions, notably around winter fuel and child benefit caps, which led to resignations like that of Rosie Duffield.
Almost twice as many respondents perceived Starmer's recent speech as poor rather than good, as 34% expressed dissatisfaction. In stark contrast, only 19% found his speech favorable. This trend underscores the ongoing struggles Starmer faces in conveying a sense of optimism and purpose to the public, with just 20% of voters believing that Labour has been effective in providing hope since their recent general election landslide.
