Prime minister’s net approval falls to -37, while just 12% say mini-budget was ‘good’

Liz Truss’s personal popularity ratings are lower than those of Boris Johnson when his premiership came to an end, a newThe latest Opinium poll shows a precipitous fall in Truss’s personal ratings after the fallout from her government’sThe prime minister’s net approval rating has fallen from -9 to -37 in the space of a week, as voters took a dim view of many measures in her mini-budget and her subsequent attempts to defend them.

It gives her a worse net rating than the -28 that Johnson registered in the final Opinium poll before his removal as Tory leader. However, Truss’s score is slightly better than Johnson’s worst ever rating of -42, recorded at the height of the partygate scandal. In only the second poll since Truss became prime minister, Labour’s overall poll lead has increased from five points to 19 points, mirroring a collapse in Tory support in other polls published in the past few days. Tory support fell to 27% of the vote, with Labour on 46%.

In contrast, Keir Starmer has seen an increase in his personal ratings after a Labour conference largely free of internal party strife. His net score is now +9, up from -4 last week. Starmer also has a 17-point lead when voters are asked who they see as the best prime minister. Only 32% of 2019Starmer’s lead over Truss in terms of who voters see as the best prime minister is far in excess of the biggest lead he ever recorded over Johnson.

Across the board, Labour has taken a clear lead on the five key issues facing the country. Labour has a 20-point lead on energy and power, a 25-point lead on the NHS, an 11-point lead on immigration and a 21-point lead on housing and house prices. The Conservatives have gone from a 1-point lead on the economy last week before the mini-budget to a 19-point Labour lead this week.

‘Opposition must oppose bad policy’: Former PM Tony Abbott addresses CPACFormer Prime Minister Tony Abbott says he was 'supposed to be unelectable' as a 'conservative monarchist and climate sceptic' reflecting on his time as Opposition Leader. Mr Abbott rose to prime ministership with a landslide victory following the 2013 Australian Federal Election. 'It's not enough to just have the right instincts, we need the right actions too,' Mr Abbott said in his address at the CPAC on Saturday. 'In opposition, we have to oppose bad policy based on what we stand for. In government, we have to propose good policy based on what we stand for. 'Above all else, we must always address the practical obstacles that people face in making their lives as good as they could be'. Mr Abbott said his mission as 'party leader' was to first ensure that 'government did no harm'. 'Then, try to ensure that government did what it reasonably might to nudge the country in better directions and to do the good that only government could,' he said. 'As a conservative monarchist and climate sceptic, I was supposed to be unelectable.' Mr Abbott said he 'took 25 seats off Labor' in two elections. 'Incidentally, we always take seats off Labor when we make climate an economic issue that will cost jobs and raise prices, rather than a moral issue requiring swift change to a survivalist lifestyle lest the planet self-emulate by 2030.'
