Boris Johnson less popular than Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies with party members
Boris Johnson’s popularity with Conservative party members has been hit to such an extent that he is now less popular than Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies.
Following his police fine over partygate, the Prime Minister’s rating has fallen to just 6.6 net satisfaction, according to a monthly survey of Conservative Party members by the ConservativeHome website.
Andrew RT Davies’ rating meanwhile has surged to 25.4 net satisfaction among members.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak is in an even worse position than his boss with minus 5.2 net satisfaction, the lowest of all the members of the UK Government cabinet, after the revelation that his wife was a non-dom. Rishi Sunak regularly topped the poll for his handling of the UK’s finances during the pandemic.
Welsh Secretary Simon Hart has a net positive 23.5 rating with Conservative members.
Home Secretary Priti Patel was at the bottom of the cabinet rankings last month with a rating of minus 14 but that has now jumped to plus 31 after she announced a policy of sending asylum seekers who arrive in Britain illegally to Rwanda.
“Rishi Sunak plunged last month to third from bottom in the wake of the Spring Statement (on plus eight points),” Conservative home editor Pul Goodman said.
“He drops to last place this month, coming in at minus five points, in the wake of the furore about his wife’s tax affairs and former non-dom status. It is perhaps surprising that his fall isn’t larger; it may even be that the worst is behind him – in this table at least.
“Priti Patel was bottom of the table last month on -17 points, having languished at the lower end of it for some time – not least because of the small boats issue. The Government now has a policy to deal with it, and her rating consequently jumps to 31 points, near the middle of the table.”

And they still don’t know who R2D2 is.
Tories, eh? Threaten to illegally deport asylum seekers to a concentration camp in the Third World when 75% of those on the boats are entitled to remain and the scum go wild with appreciation.
Patel has also had to drop her “pushback policy” even before she launched it because it would be illegal because we have left the EU and the idiots forgot to negotiate a new Dublin Convention just adds to the conviction that all Tories are inept and brainless.
As EU members we could have sent them back, now we “took back control” we can’t.
it really makes you wonder what they’re trying to do, part of the recent deal with India was to make it easier for people from India to move to the UK, It would appear the UK just have issues with people from the middle east countries?
Pretty go-ring da-cow.
wow! How low can you go? RT is about as popular as having teeth pulled.
Boris or RT.
It’s like being asked what’s your favourite stool on the Bristol Stool Chart.
When Johnson does go, it won’t be because of the 35th fixed penalty notice but because he was EVEN less popular RT.
Than RT
Just imagine being less popular than than that grovelling stooge.
A choice between cholera and rabies.
I would have said cholera and dysentery.
Wow that’s a real race to the bottom right there. ARTD or ABdePJ.
It’s like a choice between syphillis and gonnorhea
When you’re seen as less popular than Andrew RT Davies shows how far Boris Johnson has fallen.
RT Davies has ” surged” to 25% in satisfaction ratings. That means 75% of those polled must have a bad opinion of him. He needs to look at himself and wonder why such a low rating amongst his own kind, because if it was among opposition voters, I could understand such a low %.. I think he should stick to the farm.
And that is amongst Conservatives, not the general voting population. Half that, then subtract another 4% of the number that is left for a reasonably accurate number
The statement “ jumped to plus 31 after she announced a policy of sending asylum seekers who arrive in Britain illegally to Rwanda.” Tells me everything I need to know about the kind of people who vote for the Tories, I am deeply ashamed that people in our country can not only live with, but actively support, braking international law and disregarding human rights… seeing as they care so deeply that BJ broke the law, you think they’d surely care about that.
The Tories have never been popular in Wales…anyone with any common sense wouldn’t vote for the Cons.
