YouGov European tracker series looks at the popularity of the leaders of Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain

Keir Starmer – United Kingdom

February’s tracker poll found that 21% of Britons had a favourable opinion of Keir Starmer and 71% had an unfavourable opinion.

This represents a slight increase in popularity since January’s survey, with the number of Britons holding a favourable view three points higher and the number with an unfavourable view four points lower.

Emmanuel Macron – France

February’s tracker poll found that 19% of French people had a favourable opinion of Emmanuel Macron and 76% had an unfavourable opinion.

These scores are within the margin of error of those for January’s survey, and therefore represent little change.

Friedrich Merz – Germany

February’s tracker poll found that 23% of Germans had a favourable opinion of Friedrich Merz and 71% had an unfavourable opinion.

This represents a slight decrease in popularity since January’s survey, with the number of Germans holding a favourable view three points lower and the number with an unfavourable view remains largely the same.

Giorgia Meloni – Italy

February’s tracker poll found that 35% of Italians had a favourable opinion of Giorgia Meloni and 56% had an unfavourable opinion.

These scores are within the margin of error of those for January’s survey, and therefore represent little change.

Pedro Sánchez – Spain

February’s tracker poll found that 32% of Spaniards had a favourable opinion of Pedro Sánchez and 66% had an unfavourable opinion.

These scores are within the margin of error of those for January’s survey, and therefore represent little change.

Mette Frederiksen – Denmark

February’s tracker poll found that 43% of Danes had a favourable opinion of Mette Frederiksen and 53% had an unfavourable opinion.

These scores are within the margin of error of those for January’s survey, and therefore represent little change. However, this does mean that Frederiksen has held on to the significant boost in support she received in January, following Donald Trump's renewed threats against Greenland.
