A poll released on January 15 from Opinium Research sees the Conservatives embattled by a week of scandal. Boris Johnson admitted on Wednesday he attended a Downing Street party during the UK’s first Covid lockdown, but stressed he thought it was a “work event”.
In the poll on voting intention, carried out from January 12 to January 14, Labour is out ahead at 41 percent, after a rise of two points.
The Tories are now polling at 31 percent, a three point plunge from the last poll on January 5 and January 7.
The poll surveyed 1271 likely voters, and also found the Liberal Democrats polled at nine percent, after a two point drop, with the Green Party at six percent, after a one point rise.
Opinium said: “The latest poll is not just the largest Labour lead we have recorded this parliament, but the largest Labour lead in any Opinium Research poll since October 2013.”
Opinium also found in another survey carried out from January 12 to January 14 the Prime Minister’s approval rating has plunged over the Downing Street row.
The pollsters hold Mr Johnson has a net approval rating of -42 percent, with 64 percent disapproval and 22 percent approval.
The Prime Minister’s approval rating has dropped eight percent, and his disapproval rating has climbed 10 percent, since their last poll between January 5 and January 7.
The poll, which surveyed approximately 2,000 Britons, also saw Sir Keir Starmer with a positive approval rating.
According to Opinium, the Labour leader has a net approval rating of four percent, with 36 percent approval and 32 percent disapproval, for a climb of two and one percent respectively.
