YouGov poll on party leaders

In a YouGov poll conducted in June 2011, public opinion on party leaders was assessed, revealing a divided electorate regarding David Cameron's performance as Prime Minister. The poll indicated that 44% of respondents believed Cameron was doing well in his role, while a larger segment, 50%, felt he was performing poorly. This disparity highlights the challenges Cameron faced in garnering widespread approval during his tenure. Additionally, the poll explored perceptions of Cameron's potential as a future Prime Minister, with 38% of participants expressing confidence in his capabilities, while 35% were uncertain. This data reflects the complexities of public sentiment towards political leadership and the fluctuating nature of support for party leaders, particularly in the context of an approaching election. The findings from this poll serve as a snapshot of the political climate at the time, illustrating the mixed feelings among the electorate regarding Cameron's leadership and the broader implications for the Conservative Party's electoral strategy.
