Half of Scots believe Humza Yousaf is doing a bad job, a new poll has suggested. Some 50 per cent of respondents said that the First Minister had been doing poorly since taking up office. Yousaf marked 100 days in the job on Friday.
Only 23 per cent said they thought he has been doing well. Yousaf's tenure as leader has been hampered by the investigation into the SNP's finances and policy u-turns on the deposit return scheme and highly protected marine areas (HPMAs).
The YouGov survey of 1,100 Scots took place between June 26 and 29. A previous poll conducted in April found 19 per cent of people thought Yousaf was doing well, and 44 per cent believed the opposite. He had only been in the job for a few weeks when the poll was carried out.
