Three-quarters of voters mark down Boris over cost of living

As he prepares to leave No10 next month, the exclusive Ipsos survey also found that 63 per cent thought Mr Johnson's government had done a bad job on managing the economy - a 14-point rise since December 2021.

Only 27 per cent think it is doing a good job the lowest score since the firm started tracking the measure 24 years ago.

Ipsos director of politics Keiran Pedley said: "Rising prices, inflation and the economy in general are top of voters' minds, so it will concern the Conservatives that they are seen as doing a bad job on such important issues."

With inflation hitting a 40-year high in June, millions of households are braced for a squeeze this autumn as energy bills soar and interest rates rise.
