Poll: Most Tory voters unconvinced Kemi Badenoch is fit for PM

THE CABLE

Most Conservative Party voters do not believe that Kemi Badenoch would make a good prime minister, according to a recent poll.

Badenoch, who is the leader of the Tories, has outlined a hardline stance on immigration in recent outings.

However, as she prepares to mark 100 days since she was elected leader of the Conservative Party, a YouGov poll shows that only half of those who voted Tory at last year’s election (48 percent) believe Badenoch looks like a prospective prime minister, with 26 percent of the view that she would do a good job as leader of the UK.

Just one in seven voters — 14 percent — across the entire population say she currently has what it takes to be prime minister.

According to the poll, 39 percent of voters spread across Labour, Lib Dem and Reform UK consider her untrustworthy.

However, 19 percent consider her trustworthy. While 39 percent say she is dislikable, 24 percent consider her likable.
