Default Theresa May most popular leader since the late 1970s

Theresa May is more popular with voters than any leader since the late 1970s, a new poll shows as another reveals Jeremy Corbyn is more unpopular than ever.

Almost two in every three voters (61 per cent) believe Mrs May would make the most capable Prime Minister compared with about one in four (23 per cent) who said Mr Corbyn.

Mrs May’s score of 61 per cent is the highest recorded by the polling company Ipsos Mori since it started asking the question in 1979.

Meanwhile, a separate poll conducted by YouGov shows that with just six weeks to go until June 8 Mr Corbyn has a net favourability rating of minus 42 - his all time low.

Well no, they're either gullible or self destructive. I've said it time and time again but public services as they are won't survive under a continued Tory government. Things like Bedroom Tax have been introduced by the Tories to target the middle and working classes and the people affected by it seem happy enough to vote for a government that wants to decrease their quality of life.

Anyone of the working or middle class that would vote Tory as it stands are to be pitied because they are voting for a government that has no interest in helping them and are content with making them scapegoats for everything.

It does indeed.
What stuns me are the people I know who are Conservative,who considered her awful.
Hadn't a good word for her at all.

Now accepting the rubbish she spews out which she then ends up breaking her word on eventually.

I know what I will be doing and saying,I wonder though what you and others will be saying,when you help give her a massive overall majority with more Conservative MPs, a majority she will use to bring back hunting with dogs back,something she strongly supports but would have no chance to get passed with her current small majority.
The Cons the only party that wants to bring hunting with dogs back.

Too late for the animals who will suffer once she gets that new majority.
The fact she supports and calls that sport is enough for me to think badly of her.
AS I do anyone partaking of such barbarity.

She's certainly the most popular leader with the Tories. I didn't support her as leader but she seems to hgave united the party and luckily is the complete antithesis to Thatcher.

Of course Labour supporters will think she's the devil incarnate and that anyone who doesn't believe what they themselves believe is a bit thick. Instead they throw their weight behind a man who stands less chance of becoming PM than I do, and I'm not standing.

You made me smile massively some time ago,during the Coalition,when you described her '' as a woman who in the dark couldn't find her own a..e''.

I've used your term many times since in discussions with others.

I think you were totally right then and so for me that description is still the more valid as to her.

She's rubbish, PMQs were a joke yesterday all she did was repeat her Saachi driven mantra over and over, and contort her face into something you rarely see outside of anything relating to 19th Century insane asylums.

She can't get through a PMQ's without stumbling, she's completely and utterly out of her depth. Scary that people are backing this woman.

Isn't great that we don't all call people who disagree with us names.

If that statement isn't exactly right I may never get over the shock.

It might help you to stop telling others what to do or say as if you are the debate or discussion police. Not to mention stop insulting anyone who has a different view.

I didn't insult anyone, I gave my opinion that it's foolishness for the working/middle classes to vote for a government that won't do anything for them. If you have a problem with that then try to actually debate it, you're in serious debates after all....
