Kemi Badenoch's Popularity Hits New Low As Tory Crisis Deepens

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch is struggling to turn around her party's fortunes.Kemi Badenoch’s popularity has hit a new low as she struggles to turn around the Tories’ fortunes, according to a new poll.The Ipsos survey shows that just 17% of the public have a favourable view towards her.That is the lowest ever recorded for her by the pollster, and a worse rating than both Boris Johnson (26%) and Rishi Sunak (21%).Meanwhile, 49% of voters have an unfavourable view of her, giving her a net score of minus 32.The most popular politician in the country, according to the poll, is Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who has a favourability rating of 31%.Boris Johnson is second, followed by Lib Dem leader Ed Davey on 25% and Keir Starmer on 23%.Robert Jenrick, who Badenoch beat to the Tory leadership last year, has a favourability rating of just 16%, the same as chancellor Rachel Reeves.In a further blow for Badenoch, just 20% of the public have a favourable view of the Conservative Party, putting them behind Reform, the Greens, the Lib Dems and Labour.The Tories’ unfavourability rating of 56% is also far worse than any of their rival’s.The findings come after a YouGov poll earlier this week put the Tories in fourth place behind Reform, Labour and the Lib Dems.Gideon Skinner, senior director of UK Politics at Ipsos, said: “While Labour has seen a slight bump in favourability, most people still think the country is heading in the wrong direction and are critical of the prime minister and chancellor.“In contrast, Nigel Farage and his party continue to be buoyed by very high approval ratings among their own base, even though they are more divisive among Labour, Lib Dem and Green supporters.“The Conservatives, though, face perhaps the toughest picture, with Kemi Badenoch’s rating dipping to its lowest level as Conservative leader and the party’s overall favourability continuing to be the lowest of any party polled. “The Conservatives are finding it particularly difficult to rebuild after their losses in the 2024 election, but both the main two parties are struggling with public disillusionment with the established political order, and a potential appetite for alternative voices in British politics from both sides of the spectrum.”Related...Hammer Blow For Kemi Badenoch As Shock Poll Puts Tories In Fourth Place'Kalamity Kemi': Badenoch Mocked After Getting Wales And Scotland Mixed Up'A Dead Party Walking': Starmer Savages The Tories In PMQs Clash With Badenoch
