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

June’s tracker poll found that 23% of Britons had a favourable opinion of Keir Starmer and 69% had an unfavourable opinion - please note that fieldwork was conducted prior to Starmer announcing his resignation on 22 June.

This represents a slight easing of negative opinion since May’s survey, with the number of Britons holding a favourable view remaining largely the same and the number with an unfavourable view down by three points.

June’s tracker poll found that 19% of French people had a favourable opinion of Emmanuel Macron and 75% had an unfavourable opinion.

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