The Telegraph ^ | 30 November 2024 | Ethan Croft

Donald Trump is more popular in Britain than Sir Keir Starmer, exclusive polling for The Telegraph has shown.

A survey conducted by Freshwater Strategy shows Mr Trump, the president-elect, has a net favourability in Britain of -24 points while the Prime Minister scored -30.

Similarly Elon Musk has a higher net favourability among UK voters than Sir Keir. He is looked on unfavourably by most voters, but less so than the prime minister with a -17 popularity rating.

Of the public figures included in the poll, Jeremy Clarkson, with a positive rating of 15 points, is the second most popular person behind the King on 27.

The former Top Gear presenter turned farmer has been in the news recently after vocally opposing the Government’s new agricultural policies.

He appeared at a major protest in Westminster last week and gave a speech in which he said Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ changes to inheritance tax relief for farmers were a mistake and urged the government to perform an about-turn.

Despite encouragement from some quarters, Mr Clarkson has ruled out a move into politics saying he would be a “terrible leader”.

Matthew Lesh, of Freshwater Strategy, said: “Keir Starmer has gone from a record-breaking landslide election victory to widespread unpopularity in a shockingly short period.

Clarkson can be a funny dude but he can also be a proper pompas jackass.....or maybe it’s just some of the brit humor I don’t get.

I guess you could make a similar comparison to American voters preferring Trump over Harris.

Starmer is more comparable to Biden. They both intend to destroy their countries.

,,, look at Hungary, Italy, France, the Netherlands and even Argentina. They've all had enough of the losers running the show and being proxy leaders for UN policies. Socialism spreads poverty evenly. Voters have worked that out and now want real politicians who not only can spell responsibility and accountability, but who will deliver those aspects in government as well. Good times.

Well the British media is non stop Trump hatefest so it is what l would expect. They also made it their mission to destroy the Reform party last election paving the way for Labour to take over. We see the disaster that has been.

Well Starmer is not very popular right now.
Bad start after the three little girls were brutally murdered by that son of migrants and Starmer went after the protesters, threw em in jail and released convicted criminals from jail to take room for protesters.

Clarkson makes a lot of anti-Trump comments but in many ways, he is just a lessor version of Trump.

To me, he comes off as a Trump wannabe.

I have no problem with legal, properly vetted emigration from Britain, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. But a union with these countries or admission into the United States is unacceptable. We don’t need any more states with politics to the left of the West Coast or New England.

Can Trump be POTUS and PM of Britain at the same time?
