Over in Downing Street it’s going to be a more dour celebration of 100 days in government than Labour expected when Starmer stood among Union Flags in front on No 10 back in July. Hacks’ summaries are all analysing how it “went off the rails”…

YouGov has released some helpful polling on how Britons feel about the first 100 days. 59% of Britons now disapprove of Labour’s record in government so far…

The breakdowns make for more sad reading: 37% expected Labour to do poorly, and have had their expectations confirmed. 30% are disappointed after expecting them to do well. Only 16% think Labour has done well…

The situation is even more dire among Labour voters, 47% of whom are disappointed in Labour’s performance. Only one in ten Labour voters think things have got better. The least popular policy so far has been releasing prisoners onto the streets early. Buyer’s remorse on strong display here…

YouGov‘s latest poll shows more people have a favourable opinion of Nigel Farage than other party leaders, at 28%. 25% of Britons have a favourable view of Ed Davey, 24% for Sunak, and 27% for Starmer. For the Prime Minister that’s the lowest since September 2021 – while 63% have a negative opinion, the highest to date…

Starmer’s net popularity has plummeted to the lowest level since he took over as Labour leader in 2020, with a net score of -36%. And 60% of the public have a negative opinion of the Labour party itself. Meanwhile, More in Common‘s survey poll Labour’s lead at just one point, as the Tories poll at 28% and Reform at 19%. Things are only getting worse for Labour…

It’s taken Labour 13 weeks for their approval rating to sink even lower than Sunak’s record low of 19%. The latest YouGov polling shows that Labour’s approval rating is now at 18%, with 57% of Britons disapproving of the government. That’s a net approval rate of -39%…

It’s no surprise the public are realising that Labour isn’t delivering the sort of ‘change’ they were hoping for. The donations scandal with Lord Alli splashing the headlines as a divided Downing Street’s mismanage the fall-out probably doesn’t help. Doesn’t look like things can get only get better for Labour…

Labour’s been taking a beating in the court of public opinion, and the latest figures make grim reading for Sir Keir and his cronies. According to YouGov’s latest poll, nearly a quarter of Labour voters (23%) now admit they see their own party unfavourably. A whopping two-thirds (67%) think Labour couldn’t care less about older voters. No surprise there…

It’s a sharp shift since July’s General Election. Back then, 47% had a favourable view of Labour, with 46% against. Fast forward a few months, and the tables have turned: only 34% still think positively about the party, while a damning 57% now have a negative opinion. Meanwhile, Starmer’s approval rating is now down by 45 points since first becoming Prime Minister at -26% – lower than Nigel Farage‘s net approval rating. Labour’s shine is fading fast…

YouGov has done some polling on Tory Party members’ views. It should make interesting reading for leadership contenders…

52% of members say that a merger with Nigel’s “real opposition” would improve Tory chances of winning at the next election. A lower 42% say they want to see it actually go ahead. Reflecting the rough split between the poacher and merger camps…

Support for moving to the centre sits at a low 34% as over half of members say the party should shift to the right. A hefty two-thirds say the UK should leave the European Convention on Human Rights. Leadership contenders need to come up with an answer to the Farage question, and quick…

New polling from YouGov today has Badenoch well in the lead among Tory members. She scores 24 points compared to Tom Tugendhat’s 16 in second place. Leadership teams are firing polls around like nobody’s business…

As co-conspirators can see, so far polling of members has varied wildly in its rankings and in granular results. It’s broadly the same situation with polling of GB voters. Often results will correspond with who has forked out the cash…

More established pollsters will come out with results over the proceeding seven weeks – if they are worth their salt results will begin coalescing before too long. Seeing as Guido’s predictions beat all of their swanky MRPs in the election, you shouldn’t hold your breath…
