Rishi Sunak has been “a bad prime minister” since he took office two years ago, according to exclusive polling for Sky News.<\/p>\n

The Great Britain poll<\/a><\/strong> – conducted on Monday and Tuesday this week by YouGov – put the Conservative Party 27 points behind Labour as the general election nears.<\/p>\n

The survey also showed discontent with the Conservative leader.<\/p>\n

But Sir Keir Starmer didn’t fare much better, according to the statistics, with 47% saying he would be “a bad prime minister” if he won the vote on 4 July.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a Q&A earlier today, Mr Sunak said he was “not worried about the polls” after a stream of bad-looking numbers for the Tories.<\/p>\n

“The only poll that matters is the one on 4 July, when all of you get to choose our future – that’s the one I am focused on,” he said.<\/p>\n

“And as you can see, I hope, I am working my socks off to talk to as many people as I can over the next five weeks.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
