New polling suggests that Liz Truss would lose to Rishi Sunak if the summer’s Conservative Party leadership race was re-run.
Some 500 Tory members were polled by JL Partners over the weekend after Ms Truss sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor and began a screeching U-turn on her mini-budget.
Out of those asked, 43 percent picked Mr Sunak, while 28 percent picked Ms Truss, with the rest either not saying who they would pick, not being able to choose, or saying they would not vote.
If just those who are decided are tallied, then it comes out as 60 percent to 40 percent in favour of Mr Sunak.
This is roughly inverse to the 57 percent to 42 percent result in favour of Ms Truss that actually happened.
The polling also found that only 16 percent of those Conservative Party members asked thought Ms Truss was doing “well”, while 56 percent thought she was doing “badly”.
