Starmer voted ‘worst UK PM in modern history’ after only five months in the job

Keir Starmer popularity news

After just five months as UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been labelled the worst in modern history, according to a damning Ipsos poll.

With a satisfaction rating of -34, Starmer’s approval is the lowest of any PM since the 1970s. Only 27% of those surveyed said they were satisfied with his leadership, while 61% said they were dissatisfied. This places him behind Gordon Brown (-23) and Rishi Sunak (-22) in early-term unpopularity.

In stark contrast, past leaders like Sir John Major who enjoyed a robust rating of +33 at the same stage of his premiership.

The poll also revealed a grim economic outlook under Starmer’s leadership. Just 15% of respondents believe the economy will improve in the coming year, while 65% expect it to worsen, giving Starmer a “net optimism” rating of -49 on economic matters—the second worst in modern history.

The survey of 1,028 voters was conducted between November 27 and December 4.
