Rishi Sunak’s first few weeks in No 10 have seen Tory hopes boosted for the next general election, but pollsters still expect Labour will beat the incumbent government at the next national ballot.
The Ipsos poll found 34 per cent of people had confidence in Mr Sunak’s long-term economic plan - twice the number that thought the same about Liz Truss.
Some 38 per cent of people also said they expected Mr Sunak to do a good job as Prime Minister, slightly more than the 36 per cent who thought the same about Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, whose ratings have fallen since Ms Truss’s resignation.
But the poll also found that more than half of people said they were not confident that the Conservatives had a good long-term economic plan or could provide the country with strong and stable leadership.
Only 27 per cent of people thought Mr Sunak was likely to win the next general election while 46 per cent of people thought Sir Keir would be prime minister - up from 28 per cent at the beginning of the year.
