Sunak's approval rating hits record low in own party

Rishi Sunak's approval rating among members of his own Conservative Party ended 2023 on a record low, highlighting the task ahead for the UK PM as he enters what's likely to be an election year. Sunak's rating fell to minus 26.5 in December from minus 25.4 a month earlier, according to the cabinet league table survey of Tory members by the ConservativeHome website. The wider results for the rest of the cabinet highlighted the dissatisfaction of party members as Sunak seeks to unite the Tories and overturn the Labour opposition's polling lead.
