The more Tory voters see of Liz Truss, the less they like her, polls show

Leadership frontrunner is now seen by many party supporters as
out of touch and not like a PM in waiting'

Liz Truss suffered a dramatic fall in ratings among people who voted Conservative at the 2019 general election during August, despite being on course to win the party leadership and become prime minister this week.

The latest polling by Opinium for the Observer shows that whereas 49% of people who voted Tory in 2019 had believed Truss looks like a prime minister in waiting" at the beginning of August, this had dropped to just 31% by 30 August.
