Overview
- YouGov shows the Greens' net favourability has fallen from +5 to -19 over Zack Polanski's leadership, reversing earlier momentum.
- Large shares of voters use negative words to describe the party, with many saying the Greens are weak, out of touch, incompetent or self‑serving.
- Only 21% of respondents say Polanski is doing a good job while 48% say he is performing poorly, according to YouGov.
- The share of people willing to consider voting Green has dropped from 28% in March to 23% at the time of reporting.
- Politico’s poll‑of‑polls puts the Greens around 11% nationally and the party now faces a Brighton conference and the October 8 Holborn and St Pancras contest as a test of whether it can regain momentum after the February Gorton and Denton by‑election win.
