MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Forty-four percent of people in the United Kingdom think opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer would be a better prime minister than Liz Truss, a YouGov poll showed.
Truss was supported by only 15% of respondents, while 37% of respondents found it difficult to answer, the poll said on Thursday.
The previous poll, conducted from September 6-7, immediately after Truss became the prime minister, showed that 25% of respondents supported her. Thus, her rating fell by 10%, while Starmer enlisted the support of another 12% of Britons.
In addition, the Labour Party increased its lead over the Conservatives in terms of support, the poll revealed, since the opposition is now supported by 54% of respondents, compared with 45% on 25 September.
