Voters believe Sir Keir Starmer has the best plan for the country, despite Rishi Sunak's claim that the Conservatives are the only party , which has this “plan” for the future, a poll has found.
The Labor leader last week unveiled his party's six pledges, or “first steps”, while Sir Keir promised economic stability to cut National National waiting lists. health services. , provide more teachers, secure border controls, create Great British Energy and crack down on anti-social behaviour.
The Prime Minister, meanwhile, has repeatedly said he alone has a plan to improve the economy and stop small boats crossing the English Channel.
Mr Sunak also likes to say that a vote for Labor would return the country “to her own circle” because she “has no plan.”
In January, he used the word “plan” 41 times at a news conference, vowing he would “stick to the plan.”
But a survey of 2,295 adults conducted by Savanta between May 17 and May 19 shows that the slogan doesn't work.
More than four in 10 voters (42 per cent) say Labor has a better plan, compared with 27 per cent who believe the Tories, giving Sir Keir's party a 15-point lead.
The percentage of Sunak supporters was three points lower than the 30 percent who said they didn't know whose plan was best.
Chris Hopkins, director of policy research at Sawant, said: “The Conservative party continues to suggest that they have a plan, that it works, and so the public should stick to them ” .
“They may well have more evidence to support that claim this week if – as expected – inflation and net migration fall. Perhaps at this stage they will begin to gain acceptance from voters who so far seem indifferent to their efforts.”
He added: “There is a serious problem with the Conservatives saying 'we have a plan.' messages – the public does not believe them. What's more, Keir Starmer is 15 points ahead of Rishi Sunak on who has the best plan for the country.
“Voters are extremely cynical about the ability of any politician to make a difference, and this is affecting both Starmer and Sunak's election promises.”
Overall, the poll shows Labor maintaining a huge lead, with a 17-point lead over the Conservatives.
While the Tories moved up one point to 26 percent, Labor remained steady at 43 percent. The Lib Dems received 10 per cent, Reform 9 per cent and the Greens 5 per cent.
Among 2019 Conservative voters, just over half (52 per cent) think Sunak has the best plan for the country, while every a fifth (19 per cent) support Sir Keir.
In contrast, among 2019 Labor voters, more than three quarters (78 per cent) say Sir Keir has the best plan, with 11 per cent backing Mr Sunak.
Among Liberal Democrat voters, half (49 per cent) say Sir Keir has a better plan, while three in 10 (29 per cent) say Sunak does.
Those set to vote for reform are more likely to prefer Sunak's plan to Sir Keir's – 34 per cent to 9 per cent – although more than half (56 per cent) say they don't know.
Labor commits to tough spending rules to ensure economic stability, creates Great British Energy, state-owned clean energy company, slashes NHS waiting lists to provide 40,000 more appointments every week, launches border security team to stop gangs preparing small crossing boats, appointing more district police officers to reduce anti-social behavior and introducing new penalties for offenders, as well as hiring 6,500 teachers.
The poll shows seven in every 10 (69 per cent) agree with the six pledges announced Labor last year. weeks are ambitious, and two thirds (66 per cent) say this is what Britain needs.
However, the public is less confident that they are achievable (42 per cent) and that Labor can deliver (33 percent).
Even among those who say they intend to vote Conservative, most think the promises are ambitious (69 percent) and meet Britain's needs (58 percent).
Around a quarter (23 per cent) of British adults support an electoral pact between the Conservative Party and Reform Britain, which would see senior figures in Reform Britain run as Conservatives. Two in five (42 per cent) are against the idea.
This follows Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg's suggestion last week that Sunak should negotiate such an agreement with Reform UK, possibly with Nigel Farage as Home Secretary.
Only one in five (22 percent) of respondents who say they intend to vote for reform oppose the plan, while three in five (59 percent) support it.
Although support is lower among those who says he would currently vote Conservative, these respondents are still more likely to do so. say they support the pact rather than oppose it (42 percent vs. 29 percent).
