Over 65% of UK Citizens Disapprove of Conservatives' Work in Tackling Top Issues: Poll
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Two-thirds of UK citizens (66%) have disapproved of the Conservative Party's work in managing the country's topical issues, while only 14% of respondents have supported the party's policies, a YouGov weekly tracker showed on Wednesday.
The survey showed that fewer than a half (44%) of the Conservative Party's 2019 voters considered them to be "the best party" to fix the UK economy, while one in eleven (9%) said the Labor Party was the most suitable for tackling the economic issues, Sputnik reported.
The majority of UK citizens said the government was "doing a bad job on most issues" when asked about specific problems. The way the authorities have been handling the environmental issues received its lowest rating (-37) since the beginning of tracking in mid-2019.
On all the other issues listed, including terrorism, defense, unemployment rate, education, the UK's exit from the European Union, welfare benefits and taxation, the government scored lower than -70, the poll showed. The Conservative party's tackling of immigration issues was estimated at -86.
Meanwhile, 28% of those sampled who considered the country's economy one of the topical issues said that the Labor Party would be "the best party for the challenge" and 21% expressed belief that it would be the Conservatives, YouGov said.
The poll was conducted from July 24-31 among 1,751 UK citizens. The margin of error is not specified.
