Keir Starmer’s approval rating revealed after marking 100 days in Downing Street --[Reported by Umva mag]

Keir Starmer’s popularity has plummeted to a record low as he marks 100 days in power.

New polling has revealed the majority of voters are so far unhappy with the Labour government’s actions.

The party’s approval rating has fallen from a +6 after they were first voted in, to a -21, pollster Ipsos said.

And Starmer’s own personal favourability rating has dropped down to -26, the worst it has been since he took over as Labour leader in 2020.

Almost half of those who voted for Labour say they feel let down by the new cabinet.

Asked to give the government a score out of 10 more than 1,000 voters scored it 3.8, which is down from 4.4 last month.

Starmer’s three months in Downing Street has been marked by infighting which led to the resignation of his top aide Sue Gray.

He has also been at the centre of a row about freebies and donations after he accepted tens of thousands of pounds worth of freebies from wealthy donors.

Following heavy criticism he has now decided to cover the cost of Taylor Swift tickets, four to the races and a clothing rental agreement with a high-end designer favoured by his wife, Lady Victoria Starmer.

His government’s decision to scrap the winter fuel payments for pensioners alsoled to considerable backlash.

A YouGov survey found four in ten voters believe the country is in a worse state since the general election.

Six in ten also disapprove of Starmer’s record so far.

More than a third said they do not have high hopes for the rest of the government’s term.

Ipsos politics director Keiran Pedley said the figures will ‘make difficult reading for Keir Starmer’.

He said: ‘With six in 10 not confident in Labour’s long-term economic plan, the pressure is on for the coming budget to land well, with Labour facing significant political risk if it doesn’t.’
