Sir Keir Starmer's honeymoon period as Prime Minister appears all but over as a new opinion poll puts Nigel Farage well-ahead of the Labour leader on net approval.
Opinium put the Prime Minister's net approval at -26 per cent, one point behind Rishi Sunak on -25 per cent.
Starmer had registered a positive net approval rating of 19 per cent after pulling off a landslide victory on July 4.
However, Starmer is now trailing his main rivals as suffering a 45 per cent slump.
The Prime Minister's approval collapse comes following a number of controversial measures, including axing Winter Fuel Payments for 10 million pensioners and releasing convicts early to free up prison space.
Farage, who yesterday concluded Reform UK's annual conference in Birmingham, saw his net approval stand at -12 per cent.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey registers the strongest net approval at three per cent.
