ORB Brexit Confidence Poll: only 34% approve of the Government’s handling of Brexit negotiations

07 November 2017

Approval of the way in which the negotiations are being handled is now the lowest it has ever been: two in three respondents (66%) to a ORB survey disapprove.

Confidence that the PM will get the right deal has also fallen through the floor, down from the 47% given at the time Parliament introduced the notification to withdrawal. Just one in four (26%) feel she will get the right deal, with 47% disagreeing; the remainder simply don’t know.

However, perhaps the biggest concern is the perceived economic outlook for the UK. For the first time since we started tracking this question one year ago, more people (40%) think we will be economically worse off than better off (37%) post-Brexit.

Overall these poll findings provide little encouragement for a Prime Minister facing multiple battles.
