More than half of the public now disapprove of the job Liz Truss is doing as Prime Minister, a new opinion poll has found. The survey was carried out in the wake of the financial market turmoil which followed Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget.
Opinium’s latest poll found 55% disapprove of the job she is doing. This compares with 18% who approve – a net rating of minus 37.
Support for Mr Kwarteng has dropped too, with 55% disapproving against 15% approving – a net rating of minus 40. This is down 30 points on a week ago.
