Boris.s Approval Ratings, plunge again, for the fifth successive week. As Sir Keir Starmers Popularity Surges.

[andy-hughes]

Peaks and troughs, that's what opinion polls reflect.

I would expect no other in view of the difficulties the government is having with the Covid crisis - but it won't last forever.

approval ratings at this stage of an administration - particularly one with a majority of 60 - are irrelevant.

it will be approaching the next election that it would be worth paying attention to ratings. since the next one is 4 years away, there's ample scope for ratings to change - the electorate's memory is perversely short.

I don’t think it’s going to make much difference just yet. What with the election being so far off.

Anything could happen in the next four years. Boris could well be even more unpopular than he is now, or he may have made a comeback.

Starmer got on his knees for BLM. Don't like that, gully, do you?

Sir Kier Rodney Starmer if you dont mind.

Emotional people are looking for someone to blame for the virus and it's consequences; and the nation's leader is the obvious scapegoat. By the time a GE comes along they'll have likely cooled down, look at the issues more rationally, and realise it's management was a learning process with those in charge firefighting it, and doing what seemed to achieve the best balance at the time. The virus has and will make for a difficult time, but we will be recovering lost economy by the time of the next GE. So this popularity drop is likely to be a blip.
