So on Zia Yusuf's boast yesterday that in a recent Freshwater poll "I have the 3rd highest Favourables of any right wing politician prompted in the poll". Well, someone's sent me the actual data. Only five "right-wing" UK politicians were actually tested. Badenoch, Farage, Tice, Jenrick and Zia himself. Their approval ratings were: Badenoch 35% Fav, 31% UnFav, +4 Net Farage 31% Fav, 52% UnFav, -21 Net Yusuf 14% Fav, 22% UnFav, -8 Net Tice 12% Fav, 22% Unfav, -10 Net Jenrick 11% Fav, 29% Unfav, -18 Net In addition, that number doesn't take into account how many people have never actually heard of those people being tested. So under the heading "Never Heard Of" are the following figures: Tice 35% Yusuf 32% Jenrick 24% Badenoch 9% Farage 1% And then there are those who don't really generate an opinion at all. So under the heading "Neutral/Unsure" you get: Jenrick 36% Yusuf 32% Tice 31% Badenoch 25% Farage 16% So the reality is, Zia Yusuf only came 3rd out of 5 "right-wing" politicians tested. His net approval rating is negative. And most people have never actually heard of him or basically have no opinion of him at all.
