There's a stereotypical view in Westminster of people who live in the Red Wall as being somehow unique, but how far is it accurate?

@PME_Politics shows that on most issues the views of Red Wall residents are the same as the population as a whole

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
Across a clutch of social issues, people in Red Wall constituencies think the same way as the rest of the British public - and, contrary to some claims, they are more socially liberal than socially conservative

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
Red Wall residents are, however, somewhat more pro-Brexit than the nation as a whole - but like all Britons, they are very split on how well Brexit is being handled

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
Red Wall residents tend to have a less negative view of the Tories than the wider public, but their views of Labour/Keir Starmer are the same.

Counter to The Narrative, Red Wall residents think Labour respect people in their area more than the Tories

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
When it comes to Keir Starmer, Red Wall residents see him as doing a better job than Jeremy Corbyn, although the Labour leader still has some way to go in appealing to people there

A year of Keir: much has been made of Starmer's performance, but Britons and Labour voters tend to think he's done as well as could be expected

13% - good job
41% - done as well as could be expected in circumstances
20% - bad job

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Despite having been reasonably popular for most of his first year in charge, Keir Starmer ends his first 12 months with a negative net favourability score (-11). Worse still for him, this means he is now more unpopular than Boris Johnson (-1)

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Keir Starmer's key attributes all took a turn for the worse in the last couple of months, with the Labour leader now only getting a positive score for competence

Strong leader (-14)
Decisive (-14)
Trustworthy (-9)
Likeable (-5)
Competence (+7)
