Rishi Sunak chairs first Cabinet meeting following reshuffle<\/h3>\n

Rishi Sunak has plunged the Tories\u2019 poll ratings below 20 percent for the first time since Liz Truss announced her intention to resign as Prime Minister last October.<\/p>\n

A new poll by People Polling, for GB News, found just 19 percent of the public now say they will vote for the Conservatives at the next general election.<\/p>\n

Labour, by contrast, has opened up a 30 point lead with 49 percent support.<\/p>\n

PeoplePolling, a member of the official British Polling Council, asked 1,581 UK adults how they would vote and was conducted today, just one day after Mr Sunak carried out a large Cabinet reshuffle in the hope of resetting his party\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

The last time the Tories polled at 19 percent was on October 20 last year, the day Liz Truss stood outside No. 10 Downing Street and threw in the towel.<\/p>\n

She was replaced with Rishi Sunak whom Tory MPs believed would be able to revive their polling fortunes.<\/p>\n

The poll also gives a major boost to Reform UK, formerly the Brexit Party, who have leapfrogged into third place on 11 percent.<\/p>\n

They are now outpolling the Lib Dems and the Greens, who garnered nine and seven percent support respectively.<\/p>\n

It also found that while a majority of voters – 51 percent – supported Mr Sunak\u2019s decision to sack Suella Braverman, only a minority of 2019 Conservative voters backed his decision.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the poll\u2019s findings, People Polling\u2019s Matthew Goodwin said that the results show \u201ca majority of people think Rishi Sunak was right to sack Suella Braverman\u201d but that \u201conly a minority of 2019 Conservatives do\u201d.<\/p>\n
