Sunak's Approval Rating Rises

Rishi Sunak has managed to narrow the gap between the Tories and Labour according to a recent poll conducted by Opinium Research. This is the closest the gap has been since Sunak took office. Additionally, Sunak's approval rating has seen a slight increase to -24%, indicating a rise in public sentiment towards the Chancellor.

Labour's Lead in Polls Wanes

The latest poll results show that Labour's lead has dropped by two points to 39% of the vote. On the other hand, the Conservatives have gained three points, bringing their support to 29%.

Plan for Drivers

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently unveiled his 'Plan for Drivers', which includes measures to limit the rollout of Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods and implement blanket 20mph zones. Ahead of the announcement, Tory MPs rallied behind Sunak, expressing their support for this policy as a common-sense approach to environmental challenges while also championing the needs of working families.

Impact of the Policy

Opinium's Adam Drummond noted the significance of this shift in the polls, stating that it is the biggest change seen in Labour's lead in quite some time. It remains to be seen how this will continue to shape the political landscape as both parties strive to gain the support and trust of the British electorate.
