Keir Starmer Experiences Record Low Popularity Ratings

Keir Starmer's popularity ratings hit a record low during the Labour conference, dropping to -30. Labour MP Rosie Duffield resigned, criticizing Starmer's policies. Only 20% of voters think Labour has provided hope post-election, and the Tory party is seen as divided and aimless.
Keir Starmer's personal popularity ratings reached new lows during his first Labour conference as prime minister, according to an Opinium poll for the Observer.

Instead of experiencing a conference boost, Starmer's approval rating dropped to -30, a significant decline from July's rating of -26.

Labour MP Rosie Duffield's resignation, citing Starmer’s policies on winter fuel and the two-child benefit cap, has added to the party's turmoil.

Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, saw her ratings fall to -28 amid budget warnings.

Only 20% of voters believe Labour has provided hope and optimism post-election, while 56% disagree.

Despite these issues, the Tory party is perceived as deeply divided and lacking clear purpose.
