Half of red wall' voters disapprove of Labour's handing of benefits, says poll
"The latest poll highlights significant dissatisfaction among red wall voters with Keir Starmer's handling of benefits-related policies, showcasing a growing disconnect between the government and these constituents."
"Disapproval over benefits is especially pronounced among older demographics, with 60% of those aged 65 and over expressing negative opinions about the government's management of policy matters."
A recent poll reveals that nearly half of red wall voters disapprove of Keir Starmer's government, particularly regarding benefits-related policies like the two-child benefit cap and winter fuel payments. In constituencies traditionally held by Labour but currently Conservative, 48% of voters expressed negativity towards the government's approach, with discontent particularly pronounced among older voters. The findings suggest a shift in voter sentiment, with many blaming the current administration for economic and social challenges, while Labour's approval ratings remain divided, indicating a complex political landscape and potential challenges ahead.
