Government popularity slumps

Jul 21, 2010, 12:07

YouGov analysis is interesting reading

After Blair got in, he had a net approval rating (those who approve minus those who don't) of 63%. But the honeymoon went on and on. In contrast, the new YouGov stats show the government's rating is 4%. In just over two months, the coalition’s rating has declined to levels that were not reached for almost three years under Tony Blair.

A government of cuts is likely to be unpopular, and in the past the LibDems have mopped up a lot of the disapprovers. This time, it's almost entirely a swing to Labour. Less than half who voted LibDem on May 6th would do so if the election were held now.

Conservative ratings are up a bit since the election too, though.
