A record number of senior ministers - including the PM himself - have negative approval ratings with the Conservatives’ rank-and-file, according to a new survey.
The poll of Tory members for the ConservativeHome website showed that 12 of them have negative ratings, meaning more people are unsatisfied with their performance than are satisfied. That is up from 11 the month before.The accompanying article said: ” result is also a good indicator of how much air has gone out of the Government over the past half a year – and that from a low base.
“The overall scores are, therefore, likely a useful barometer for our panel’s sentiments about the government as a whole. “Five months into the Prime Minister’s post-conference fightback, it’s looking as bleak as ever it has.” The findings come as the Tories continue to lag well behind Labour in the opinion polls, and with the party on course to lose hundreds of seats at next month’s local elections.Sign up and we will email you daily with the best of our political and news coverage while also giving you a taste of our most-popular lifestyle, opinion and personal blogs.
