Recent polling data suggests that a mere quarter of Conservative Party voters see Kemi Badenoch as a viable candidate for prime minister.

This action aligns with Badenoch’s recently expressed firm stance against immigration.

According to the poll by YouGov, less than half — only 48 percent — believe Badenoch looks like a prospective prime minister, with only 26 percent of the view that she would do a good job as leader of the UK.

A mere 14 percent of the population (one in seven voters) think she’s currently up to the job of prime minister.

A poll reveals that she is deemed untrustworthy by 39 percent of voters who identify with the Labour, Liberal Democrat, or Reform UK parties.

However, 19 percent consider her trustworthy. While 39 percent say she is dislikable, 24 percent consider her likable.

On the job approval rating stakes, 56 percent of 2024 Tory voters handed her a thumbs-up, with 17 percent saying she is doing a shoddy job.

The numbers have made for grim reading for Badenoch and the Tories lately. Last week, another poll showed that Badenoch’s Conservative Party has been pushed to third place for potential voters — behind Reform UK and Labour.

Badenoch has in recent times communicated her policy stance on immigration with a recent interview with the BBC calling for significant changes to the process of acquiring British citizenship; she proposed that immigrants should only be eligible to apply after residing in the United Kingdom (UK) for 15 years, rather than the current six. insisting that it should be reserved for those with a “meaningful connection to the UK”.

Badenoch also argued that indefinite leave to remain — a crucial step towards citizenship—should be denied to individuals with criminal records or those who have claimed benefits or social housing.

“We need to make sure that people coming here have a real, meaningful connection to the UK, so no criminal records, they should be net contributors to the economy, not relying on benefits but people who care about our country and our communities”, Badenoch argued further.
