Rishi Sunak’s net favourability down 24pts in two weeks since spring statement
The chancellor’s popularity has fallen below that of Keir Starmer for the first time since the Labour leader took office
The aftermath of the spring statement and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis seem to be continuing to have a devastating effect on Rishi Sunak’s popularity among the British public.
Most Britons (57%) now have an unfavourable opinion of Sunak, compared with just 28% who see him in a positive light, giving him a net favourability score of -29, compared to -15 in the previous survey.
Rishi Sunak has been consistently popular among the British public, but now, for the first time since Keir Starmer assumed the Labour leadership, he is polling higher than the chancellor. The Labour leader is currently sitting at a net favourability of -25, from -21 on 23-24 March.
Although Sunak is still in positive net favourability territory with Conservative voters (+6), his favourability has fallen a staggering 23 points from +29 on 23-24 March, and from +41 just prior to the spring statement. Net favourability among Labour voters has dropped from -53 to -64 since our last poll.Boris Johnson’s popularity among Conservative voters has also taken a big hit, with his net favourability dropping from +28 to +7 over the same period. Overall, the prime minister’s net favourability among the wider British public has fallen from -34 to -42.
Rishi’s had his chips
Pity, once thought he had all the makings of the next PM, but there you go 
Must be pretty galling for the opposition to see there leader loosing support even against an unpopular prime minister.
