The three issues GB News viewers trust Labour on MORE than the Tories

When asked who they trust to handle different issues, GB News viewers said they trust Labour more with the cost of living, NHS and housing.

Out of 530 respondents, 55 per cent trust Labour to improve the NHS while only 24 per cent trust the Tories.

Similarly, over half of viewers (53 per cent) think Labour will make housing more affordable if they win the General Election compared to 23 per cent for the Conservatives.

For the cost of living, 48 per cent trust the Labour Party over the Tories (32 per cent) to support people with costs and energy.

Improving the NHS was the most important issue for GB News viewers and the cost of living was the third most pressing problem facing respondents.

Viewers also trust Labour over the Tories to deal with pay disputes and strike action (47 per cent) and to reduce inequalities between the best -and worst off- people and places (52 per cent).

Labour has now doubled its lead over the Conservative Party in just a month amongst GB News viewers.

Labour is 21 points ahead of the Conservatives with Labour at 46 per cent, the Tories at 25 per cent and Reform UK at 18 per cent of the vote.

However, the Conservatives do remain more trusted amongst GB News viewers than Labour on certain issues including foreign affairs, woke culture, the criminal justice system and inflation.

Viewers also care strongly about stopping illegal migration and small boat crossings- an issue they trust the Tories to handle more than Labour.
