Public divided 60/40 on Labour handling of recession
60% of the UK public give little or no credit to the Labour government for recent good news on the economy.
Recent economic news has suggested that the UK will come out of recession when the Chancellor predicted, with the FTSE on the rise and reports of business confidence returning. However, a majority of the public are not giving the Labour government much credit for their handling of the economic downturn.
A new UK-wide PoliticsHome poll shows that 60% of voters give the government either “not very much” or no credit whatsoever for their management of the economy. 23% of voters give them some credit, while 17% give Labour a lot of credit.
Majorities of Conservative supporters (92%), and non-aligned voters (70%) attribute none or very little of the positive economic news to the government, while just under half of natural Labour supporters (48%) give the government a lot of credit. Liberal Democrat supporters were split, with 51% giving Labour some or a lot of credit, and 49% giving them not very much or no credit.
Revival in fortune?
In addition, the public are sceptical of a turnaround in the fortunes of the Labour party for the better. 65% of voters think that the chances of a positive change in the fortunes of Labour is either very unlikely or non-existent. 23% think that it is a possibility, while only 5% of the public think that it is likely.
PoliticsHome interviewed 1,204 adults by email between 24-25 August 2009. Results are weighted by party ID to reflect the UK at large. Figures are rounded to the nearest integer and may not always aggregate to 100%.
