As a result of the partygate scandals, Boris Johnson is now consistently less popular than the Conservative party. Previously he had generally been slightly more popular than his party

Boris Johnson: -52 net score
Conservative party: -41

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
Theresa May had also previously been more popular than her party, and substantially so. However, this was forever changed by the botched 2017 general election campaign, and thereafter she was generally seen in the same terms as her party

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
From late 2016 onwards, Jeremy Corbyn was consistently less popular than the Labour party, often significantly so. By the end of his tenure he was 20pts more unpopular than his party

No gap - 4%
