Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government is trailing the Labour opposition on the issue of managing inflation, a poll found, suggesting the cost-of-living crisis is increasingly harmful to the Conservatives.
YouGov Plc said a record 72% of those surveyed think the government is handling the economy badly, and three-quarters think it’s doing poorly with inflation. More than half of those who voted Conservative in 2019 voters faulted the government.
