Voters want Rishi Sunak to do more to stop small boats, tackle debt, and cut NHS waits


A new poll has found voters want Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to do more to support his main priorities.

Voters said they thought Sunak was doing a “bad job” in delivering his hot topics as he prepares to address the Conservative Party conference tomorrow. At the start of the year, the PM said he had five main priority areas.

These were halving inflation, growing the economy, cutting government debt, shortening NHS waiting lists and “stopping the boats”. In a poll of 1,000 British adults, Ipsos UK found widespread dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s performance on all five priorities.

Dissatisfaction had also grown across the five policy areas since the pollster last asked about them in May. On halving inflation, 57% said they thought Mr Sunak was doing a bad job, compared to 55% who said the same in May. Only 14% said they thought he was doing a good job, down from 17%.
