Leadership approval opinion polling for the 2019 United Kingdom general election

Add article description

At various dates in the run up to the 2019 general election, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge the opinions that voters hold towards political leaders. Results of such polls are displayed in this article. Most of the polling companies listed are members of the British Polling Council (BPC) and abide by its disclosure rules.

The date range for these opinion polls is from the previous general election, held on 8 June 2017, to the present day. Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, the next general election was scheduled to be held no later than 5 May 2022,^[1] and it was accelerated from that timetable by the Early Parliamentary General Election Act 2019, meaning polling day fell on 12 December 2019.

Gerard Batten

Gerard Batten, former leader of UKIP

The following polls asked about voters' opinions on Gerard Batten, who served as Leader of the UK Independence Party from 14 April 2018 to 2 June 2019, and Acting Leader between 17 February 2018 and 14 April 2018.

Approval polling in Scotland

The polls below were conducted amongst voters in Scotland only, and asked about their opinions on both Scottish and UK-wide political leaders.

Preferred prime minister polling

Some opinion pollsters ask voters which party leader they would prefer as prime minister — Boris Johnson (Conservative Party) or Jeremy Corbyn (Labour Party). The questions differ slightly from pollster to pollster:

Opinium: "Which, if any, of the following people do you think would be the best prime minister?"
BMG Research: "If you had to choose between the two, who would you prefer to see as the next Prime Minister?"
YouGov / Survation: "Which of the following do you think would make the best Prime Minister?"
Ipsos MORI: "Who do you think would make the most capable Prime Minister, the Conservatives’ Boris Johnson, or Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn?"
ICM: "Putting aside which party you support, and only thinking about your impressions of them as leaders, which one of the following do you think would make the best Prime Minister for Britain?"
