A new poll by More in Common reports that Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party, has a net approval rating of plus three. This means that, overall, more respondents say they think she is doing a good job than say she is performing badly. The reports state that Badenoch is the first party leader to receive a positive net approval rating since 2024. The coverage emphasizes the shift from a previously negative or neutral approval position to a slightly positive one, based on the survey’s net measure of opinion. The articles do not provide detailed breakdowns by demographics, nor do they describe the full methodology or sample size in the excerpts provided. Overall, the sources agree on the direction and size of the change—approval is marginally positive—while presenting it as notable within the context of other party leaders’ ratings over the past period.
