SAEDNEWS: A new poll of supporters of the UK’s Conservatives has found Prime Minister Rishi Sunak with a record low approval rating among party members, Sputnik reported. The survey found Sunak with a rating of minus 26.5 in December, meaning 26.5% more of Conservative Party members disapprove of him than view him favorably. The rating is a drop of just over one percent versus the previous month according to results from the ConservativeHome website.
The poll also recorded low popularity among Sunak’s cabinet members.
“Only 17 members of the Cabinet are above a lowly ten points – a record in itself,” read a post on the popular blog.
Sunak was the first British Prime Minister of Asian descent when elected by party members in 2022, and also one of the youngest. With a net worth of about 529 million British pounds shared with his wife Akshata Murty, an Indian business heiress, he is also thought to be the wealthiest British prime minister ever.
He has struggled to govern since succeeding fellow Tory Prime Minister Liz Truss last year, who occupied 10 Downing Street for less than two months. Truss was elevated to the position just two days before the death of Queen Elizabeth II, taking over for Conservative Party Prime Minister Boris Johnson who was mired in scandal.
The most popular minister polled in Sunak’s cabinet was Kemi Badenoch, a self-styled “anti-woke” politician currently serving as Secretary of State for Business and Trade and Minister for Women and Equalities. Badenoch has led efforts in recent months to secure a bilateral trade deal with the United States; the UK was forced to negotiate individual trade pacts with various countries after leaving the European Union in 2020 (SOURCE: FARSNEWS).
