Uh oh. The Prime Minister hasn’t been back from Easter recess for one full day yet and he’s already facing bad news. In the latest poll of Tory party members by ConservativeHome, Rishi Sunak’s net satisfaction rating has dropped to a new low of, er, -27.7. In fact, Sunak is the least popular member of his entire cabinet — with the exception of illegal migration minister Michael Tomlinson. It’s not exactly a record to boast about…
Sunak’s score has dropped by 4.6 points since last month, and by just under 10 since February. There are now 12 ministers with negative overall ratings — and the scores at the top of the chart are hardly anything to get excited about. Up top is Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch, with a rating of 56.2. While it’s a result Sunak might envy, it should be noted that Badenoch has previously scored in the sixties and seventies.
