It does remind us of just how unpopular many recent governments have been...

Twice as many Britons think things heading in the 'wrong direction' as the 'right direction'
Wrong direction 49% (+5 from Sept) Right direction 24% (-5 from Sept)
On Brexit, I'm intrigued by the 8% who think things are going 'very well'.

A āblame everything on Europeā cop out ruled a significant proportion of public sentiment for many years. A depressing and almost entirely erroneous victim culture. Of course a sterling effort is being made to keep some of that going but one must assume that eventually most of the public will regard our problems as being of our own creation and the solutions to them as also being in our own hands. Thatās a welcome Brexit outcome. Polls like this may start to indicate that change in sentiment. If and when that happens politics will be a bit more challenging (for all parties, but particularly the Tories). It was a desperately easy defence.

Hard to fathom that anybody thinks we are going in the right direction under the Symonds regime. "The power of Carrie Johnson The courtier journalists fawn over her reactionary feminism BY TANYA GOLD" unherd.com/2021/10/the-power-of-carrie-johnson/As far as transfer news goes Tanya Gold from Guardian to Unherd is an interesting one...
And "American journalism is mostly immune to the tactic of charm plus threats". Really???

You've fallen into a common trap there. There is not much difference statistically between polls showing a 1% Conservative lead (of which there have been several recently) and a poll showing a 1% Labour lead.

I agree the 1% Labour lead is not remarkable.

Short term COP 26 effect?

It may be too soon to comment on whether this is a freak poll or the beginning of a trend. Some of increase in the Green vote may be due to the Corbynistas leaving the Labour Party or alternatively Tories supporting the Greens as a protest vote as happened in the 1960s onwards. Polls later this month may show the effect of Paterson and whether there is any long term damage. It ma be too soon for Conservative MPs to push for a vote of non confidence in Johnson but that may happen after the May elections. I anticipate that a fair number of traditional Conservative voters may want to mow their lawn than go to vote if there are are more sleaze claims. There are some who believe that Paterson is merely the canapes before the main course depending on the outcome of any further investigates into the cost of the flat, holidays etc.

That is now three polls in the last month from two different pollsters showing the Green Party in double figures.
While I would be surprised if even the majority of these people vote green at the next general we could start reaching a tipping point where people start figuring that a Green vote could result in wins rather than just being a protest vote. Could make for some interesting local elections next year.
