THREAD: Published some more numbers from our @IpsosMORI Political Monitor today. Some highlights.

Satisfaction with how the government is running the country

Satisfied 14%
Dissatisfied 81%
Net -67

Since 1977, only Major and May's government's experienced worse ratings...

To illustrate the point... (no giggling at the back)

"The word ‘competent’ is an accurate description of the current government"

Agree 22%
Disagree 66%
Net -44

In April 2015, Cameron's govt scored +6.

Moving on...

Public satisfaction with how Johnson is doing his job as PM

Satisfied 37%
Dissatisfied 55%
Net -18

Net rating is down 11pts from July.

But Corbyn's net rating as Labour leader is -60...

Who do you think would make the most capable PM?

Johnson 50%
Corbyn 29%
Neither 16%
Other / DK etc 4%

"Labour is ready to form the next government"

Agree 27%
Disagree 62%
Neither / DK 11%

In Feb 2015 33% agreed Lab were ready. Went on to lose.

In April 97, 55% agreed Lab were ready. We all know what happened there.

So what have we learned?

In a General Election, Labour will want to make the campaign a referendum on an unpopular government.

But the government will want to make the campaign a referendum on Corbyn and whether Labour is ready....

Whoever cracks that wins
