Liz Truss approval ratings reach new lows after Tory conference

PM’s -47 net rating in Opinium poll worse than Boris Johnson’s at height of Partygate scandal

Sat 8 Oct 2022 17.14 BST

Liz Truss’s personal ratings are now even worse than those recorded for Boris Johnson at the height of the Partygate scandal, according to another Observer poll which will cause alarm among Tory MPs.

Truss’s personal approval rating of -47 is now the worst ever recorded for a prime minister in an Opinium poll for the Observer. It is a worse rating than that recorded for Johnson during Partygate and Theresa May in the weeks before her resignation.

It suggests that the perception of the prime minister among voters has worsened despite the Tory party conference, when leaders and parties traditionally see a bump in support as they are given the chance to present their political vision.

Her net approval rating has fallen by 10 points since last week as a result of a significant rise in the number of voters who say they “disapprove” of the job she is doing. The figure was up nine points to 64%. Only 16% approve of the job she is doing. She has an overall approval rating of -47 after rounding is taken into account.

She'll be out by Christmas but we'll end with Wallace in charge.

Absolute clowns running this country.

Friday should be interesting as the Bank of England will end its emergency bond-buying programme.

I don't think Truss and Kwarteng can last much longer. Another leadership challenge before Christmas...?

2nd shortest-lived Chancellor in UK political history, after Iain Macleod (the latter wasn't even sacked, but died of a heart attack).

This insane clown show can't go on much longer, surely.

We desperately need a General Election and to remove this awful government, and begin reversing their 6 years of devastation since the cataclysmic Brexit referendum.

All of this madness goes back to that fateful day in 2016.

There are a few petitions around that have over 250,000 names/votes on them. There is also a 3 hour debate at parliament on Monday about having a general election.
