Only 45% of Tory voters think PM will get good deal

Political reporter(wp/es):

Less than half of Conservatives believe Theresa May can clinch a good Brexit deal, an exclusive poll revealed today.

Just 45 per cent of the party’s supporters have faith in the Prime Minister to get a good deal for the country, Ipsos MORI found.

It also revealed that public optimism on the economy has slumped to its lowest level this year, with six in 10 saying they think things will get worse in the year ahead. 

The results could overshadow Mrs May’s attempts to boost Tory morale at the party conference in two weeks. 

She will be relieved, though, that Tory supporters also doubt that ex-foreign secretary Boris Johnson could get a good deal if he was PM. Only 47 per cent think he could. Among the general public, an overwhelming majority believe neither of the main political party leaders can deliver a favourable Brexit. Just 28 per cent feel confident that either the PM or Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn could do it. Some 70 per cent think Mrs May will fail, and 67 per cent say Mr Corbyn would fail. 

Voters remain almost evenly split between the main parties, the poll confirmed, with 39 per cent backing the Tories and 37 per cent choosing Labour. The Lib Dems were up three points to 13.

Ipsos interviewed 1,070 adults in GB by phone from September 14 to 18. Data are weighted. www.ipsos-mori.com
