Latest political polls in Wales show how people feel about Liz Truss

The latest political poll in Wales shows that the majority of people in Wales don't trust the new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and her government to make the right decisions for the country. The YouGov poll, conducted for ITV Cymru Wales and Cardiff University, shows 66% of people do not have faith in the Conservative politician.

Just over one in ten (12%) of those that were surveyed thought Ms Truss would make a good prime minister, but nearly half of the participators thought she'd be a 'poor or terrible' Prime Minister. According to Dr Jac Larner of Cardiff University's Welsh Governance Centre, Liz Truss, who won the Conservative leadership contest against Rishi Sunak at the beginning of September, faces the most hostile political and economic situation that any incoming Prime Minister has had in recent decades.

Speaking to ITV News Wales, he said: "Far from enjoying an initial polling ‘bounce’, the public appear to have little confidence in her as Prime Minister or in her ability to make the right decisions for Wales.
