The remarkably low leadership ratings for Boris Johnson

August 1, 2019 - 4:53 pm

Boris Johnson (who reminds me of a character from The Thick of It) starts off as Prime Minister with remarkably low ratings in the first Ipsos-MORI poll, and that’s before he loses a by-election:

(Look away now if you are a Tory Remainer who voted for Boris Johnson 'because we have to have an election winner')

Initial favourability ratings for our Prime Ministers:

Blair +60
May +35
Cameron +31
Brown +16
Major +15
Thatcher +2
Johnson -7
