Voters believe Sir Keir Starmer is the worst prime minister in modern history after five months in the job, a damning poll for the Mail has found.
A whopping six in ten (61 per cent) people said they were 'dissatisfied' with the PM's track record — including more than a third (39 per cent) of Labour supporters.
Just one in four (27 per cent) of all voters said they were 'satisfied' with Sir Keir's performance since Labour stormed to power in July.
And barely half (54 per cent) of Labour's own voters said they were satisfied.
It gives Sir Keir a 'net satisfaction' rating of -34 in the survey by Ipsos, which has been tracking the popularity of new PMs since Margaret Thatcher's tenure.
The second most unpopular premier after five months was Gordon Brown (-23) in 2007, followed by Rishi Sunak (-22) in 2023.The most popular was Sir Tony Blair (+57) in 1997, followed by Sir John Major (+33) in 1991.
Confidence in the economy under Sir Keir is also the second-worst, the poll discovered. Just 15 per cent believe it will improve over the next year.
By contrast, nearly two-thirds (65 per cent) think it will get worse. It gives Sir Keir a 'net optimism' rating of -49 on the economy.
The only PM to score worse was Mrs Thatcher (-52) in 1979.However, she inherited already soaring inflation rates of more than 15 per cent from her Labour predecessors James Callaghan and Harold Wilson, which she eventually wrestled down to less than 5 per cent by the mid-80s.
By contrast, Sir Keir inherited a growing economy with inflation at around just 2 per cent.
The Ipsos survey also found that seven in ten (70 per cent) people are 'dissatisfied' with the way the Government as a whole...

Remember remember the 5th of November.
Gasp, we started the competition with our mother country to select the worst possible person to be found. We were well ahead with Biden and his crime family. The UK made a strong counter thrust with Starmer. However, it’s still no contest. Biden wins in the points of: Lowest IQ, lowest morals, lying ability, and sheer repulsiveness. Biden stands a strong chance of being in the unique position of being the most useless and loathsome sentient being in all the multiverse. (And I exaggerate, using “sentient” to describe him.)
When’s he leaving?
Any Brit voter who didn’t see this coming is an idiot
BTTT
One could reasonably assign blame for this unmitigated disaster to the Tories who had 14 years to effect conservative based changes but they morphed into Labour Lite. One glaring obvious failure was not ditching the utterly unworkable net zero fiasco and addressing immigration. Sadly, I think Great Britain is too far gone to salvage.
The US was heading in that direction but this last election gives me hope.
BTTT
Well you Brits picked his party and his party picked him , who’s dumber ,LOL
Keir Starmer : “What this country needs is more communism”...
It was Blair that opened the flood gates to forced mass migration into the UK. Emigration increased five fold, from the previous government, during his time in office bringing 3.6 million into the country and has continued unabated by all his acolytes ever since.
This was a deliberate policy one of the reasons being a huge number were "Asian", British code for muslim, and they voted overwhelmingly for the Labour Party.
