Boris Johnson’s popularity dented by turbulent week as Tory lead over Labour shrinks
The Sun ^ | 7 September 2019 | David Wooding

The PM’s personal rating has collapsed and his party’s lead over Labour has shrunk to just three points.

An exclusive Deltapoll survey for The Sun on Sunday shows little hope of break in the Brexit deadlock.

Most people have not changed their mind since the 2016 referendum – and a snap election looks likely to bring back another hung Parliament.

But the majority blame MPs – and not Mr Johnson himself – for the Brexit chaos.

Eight out of ten voters believe Parliament has become a “laughing stock” which is undermining British democracy.

An election now before the end of November will result in an even more divided house. An election after the Halloween Brexit would be clearer with the Tories out of the picture

His popularity will go way up after he delivers Brexit.

I predict an eventual return to monarchy/feudalism with the way their parliament is going, it will probably happen after a collapse/civil war.

As per the sun, a pro hard Brexit paper, his popularity would go down post Brexit, which is why he wants elections before Halloween

I didn’t see that in the article and I couldn’t find a link to the survey but I disagree with them, if his popularity is dropping now it is because it looks like there is a possibility he won’t fulfill his promise to make Brexit happen.
If he succeeds he will get a bounce out of it and the Brexit party will lose many voters because Brexit will be less of an issue.

You all talk as if Brexit is a single thing to care about for the British government.

It seems most Muslims support Brexit. For instance the Chancellor Sajid Javid is the first Muslim to hold that post

Sajid Javid supported remain. Most ethnic minorities, except for Jews and Indians, where pro remain. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis (I.e. the bulk of the Muslim population the UK) where pro remain. https://ukandeu.ac.uk/minority-ethnic-attitudes-and-the-2016-eu-referendum/

Boris should deliver Brexit & allow them to imprison him as they have threatened. This might finally wake the population up!

It is too bad that the British people do not have sufficient survival instincts left or members of Parliament would start being hung outside the Houses of Parliament as a reminder that they are supposed to represent the vote of the citizenry.

Considering that at the minimum 48% support no Brexit, those MPs are representative of a divided society

A minimum of 52% voted to leave and that # has only increased as the remoaners have continued to show their absolute contempt of the democratic vote that they lost
