CON leads moves to 15% with ComRes online while Corbyn sees 10% drop in his favourability ratings

VOTING INTENTION Con 42% (NC) Lab 27% (-2) LD 7% (NC) UKIP 15% (+2) Green 3% (NC) SNP 5% (NC) Other 1% (NC) And Osbo’s leadership hopes take another blow The ComRes leader ratings paint a very different picture from that which we saw from Ipsos earlier in the week. This is down to the question. ComRes ask favourability questions while the Ipsos-MORI rating relates to leader satisfaction. The latter found 28% of 2015 CON voters saying they are satisfied…

Corbyn slumps to new YouGov leader ratings low while latest Survation #EUREF polling has REMAIN back in the lead

Even EdM had net positives at this stage It used to be that YouGov published its well/badly party leader ratings on a weekly basis. Now in this post-GE2015 polling disaster era we only get them once a month. The latest, for November, is just out for the Times and the figures continue to decline for Mr. Corbyn. Of those polled 52% said he was doing badly with 30% saying well. To put that into context on November 19th 2010 Ed…

Less than six weeks after becoming LAB leader Mr. Corbyn’s approval ratings slump to a net minus 19 points with Opinium

Less than six weeks after becoming LAB leader Mr. Corbyn’s approval ratings slump to a net minus 19 points with Opinium

Opinium has a new poll out showing almost no change in the voting intention numbers. CON still ahead by 5%. The firm is the only one to regularly ask leader approval questions and the latest survey is not good for Labour’s new leader. In September Opinium had him on a net minus 7 points. Tonight the gap between those who approve of him and those who don’t has widened to 19 points. These latest numbers mean that in every single…

How will the granddaddy of the polling industry rate Labour’s new leader? We’ve had a few sets of numbers already on Corbyn but none from the long-established posters using their tried and tested questioning. Ipsos MORI, and in its earlier incarnation just MORI, has been surveying leader ratings since the mid-1970 and one question whether the sample are “satisfied or dissatisfied” has been asked in the same manner for nearly four decades. The result is that it has a vast…

Farage’s ratings for a third party leader are pretty poor With the seven way debate upon us shortly, I was trying to see the circumstances that led to the Cleggasm in April 2010. Using the Ipsos-Mori leader satisfaction ratings as a proxy,  we can see how Nigel Farage’s net ratings compare to Clegg in March 2010. Then in April 2010 the public for a short time, ended up liking someone they already liked a bit more. Given that that Farage…

CON GE2015 hopes are too reliant on Miliband’s poor ratings The Times is leading on polling about Ed Miliband’s PM ratings which are not good for Labour. There is no doubt that on almost every measure when put up against Cameron he does worse – sometimes by quite a margin. But you have to put these sorts of numbers into context. The PM ratings trend chart above is from the last general election that the Tories were returned to power…
