Starmer’s Favourability Hits Record Low in September YouGov Poll

YouGov ties the slump to Labour turmoil over recent resignations, a hurried reshuffle plus Peter Mandelson’s dismissal as US ambassador.

Overview

  • Keir Starmer registers 21% favourable and 71% unfavourable in YouGov’s 10–12 September fieldwork, a net -50 that marks his worst score on the tracker.
  • Senior Labour figures also post lows, with Angela Rayner at net -40, Rachel Reeves at -49 and David Lammy at -31, according to YouGov’s September release.
  • YouGov reports that none of the leading Labour figures hold clearly positive net ratings even among 2024 Labour voters, with splits or negatives across the board.
  • Opposition leaders remain mostly negative as well, with Nigel Farage at net -31 and largely unchanged, Kemi Badenoch at -35, Ed Davey at -6 and Jeremy Corbyn at -31.
  • GB News highlights the YouGov findings as evidence of an exceptionally steep governing-party decline since 1983, a characterisation presented as the outlet’s framing.
