Sir Keir Starmer has seen Labour trail in opinion polls for much of his period in Downing Street, while his satisfaction ratings have fallen to the lowest level of any prime minister in the past 50 years.
Labour was ahead in the polls for several months after winning the general election in July 2024, with the Conservatives in second place and Reform UK third – though by October of that year, Labour’s average poll numbers had dropped below 30%, then continued to slide to reach the mid-20s by early 2025.
