Unsurprisingly, it is among Conservative Leave voters that the new PM is most popular. He is actually slightly less popular among Conservative Remain voters than he is among Labour Leave voters yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
The new PM has a negative net favourability rating across the whole country. He is most unpopular in Scotland (-48) and London (-31), and least unpopular in the East of England (-7) and the South West (-8) yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Boris Johnson also has a women problem. Women are eight percentage points less likely than men to say they have a favourable view of him... yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
...and this trend also applies among the group he is most popular with (Conservative Leave voters). 83% of men in this group have a favourable view of Boris, falling to 75% among women yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Boris also does nothing to solve the Conservative party's problem with young people. He is overwhelmingly unpopular among 18-44 year olds, and it is only among those aged 65 and above that he holds a positive net favourability score yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

18% of Britons say they are likely to consider voting for a new left-wing party led by Jeremy Corbyn
However, this is less than would consider voting for the existing major parties and has caveats... 🧵
Just 32% of those who would consider voting for a Corbyn-led party say it is the party they are most likely to consider voting for, including only 9% saying it is the only party they would consider voting for (of the main national parties)
