Even Conservative Voters Hold Unfavourable Views of Jeremy Hunt and Suella Braverman

YouGov's latest favourability ratings are out, and Lindsay Hoyle is the only leading political figure who comes out with a net positive perception. Graphing the figures alongside party affiliation makes one trend clear - Labour politicians are viewed far less unfavourably than Conservatives.

Jeremy Hunt and Suella Braverman will be most displeased with their rankings; they came in last with net favourabilities of -38% and -43% respectively. They can't even count on Conservative voters to have their backs - a majority, 56%, hold an unfavourable view of Hunt, whilst Suella's net rating was also negative (on -14%). Rishi is the only Conservative listed who got into positive territory on his home turf - with a respectable +13%. Though this wasn't enough to get his overall rating to beat Starmer. Keir's net favourability of -16%, came in above Rishi's -28%.

Elsewhere, Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting led the pack on -5% and -6% each. However, their net favourability positions are likely inflated by the fact large proportions of voters didn't hold an opinion of them (for Reeves, 64% responded "don't know" and for Wes this was 67%). Considering the general skew of the public's perception of politicians, if more respondents came off the fence, it would likely reduce their ranking. The same could be said of Kemi Badenoch and Steve Barclay.

All politicians listed had higher net favourability than their parties - with the exception of Keir Starmer. The Conservatives have a net favourability of -44% and Labour has -7%. Though most strikingly, the Conservative Party doesn't even have net positive favourability amongst their own voters.
