UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Sees Poll Surge Following Ukraine Diplomacy Efforts
Starmer's approval ratings rise as he navigates international tensions and steps up Britain's role in Ukraine conflict diplomacy.
- Keir Starmer's approval rating increased from 23% to 30% in recent polls, reflecting growing public support for his handling of foreign policy.
- The Labour government is now viewed as stronger than the Conservatives on defense and foreign policy by a significant margin in public opinion.
- Starmer's efforts include hosting talks with European leaders and Ukraine's president, as well as meeting U.S. President Trump following his withdrawal of support for Ukraine.
- A majority of Britons (60%) disapprove of Trump's decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine, with many believing it benefits Russia more than Ukraine.
- Polling shows increased public support for higher defense spending in the UK, even if it requires higher taxes or cuts to other services.
