YouGov Poll Finds Starmer and Reeves Hit Record-Low Favourability

The timing days before the Autumn Budget magnifies pressure on Labour.

Overview

  • Keir Starmer’s favourability stands at 19% positive and 73% negative for a net -54, his lowest with YouGov to date and near Boris Johnson’s -53 on his resignation day.
  • Rachel Reeves registers 12% favourable and 69% unfavourable for a net -57, her lowest since becoming chancellor and roughly matching Kwasi Kwarteng’s worst at -56.
  • YouGov reports majorities of last year’s Labour voters now view both leaders unfavourably, with 52% negative on Starmer and 57% negative on Reeves.
  • The poll notes Reeves’ unfavourability has risen six points since October as her favourable share hits a new low ahead of her fiscal statement next week.
  • Other leader ratings show Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch at net -32, Ed Davey at -9, and Green leader Zack Polanski near even at -2.
