A snap study of voters in Yorkshire, exclusive to The Yorkshire Post, has seen Rishi Sunak labelled as “out of touch” by many of the respondents.
The rapid response voter panel study, conducted by pollsters JL Partners on behalf of campaign group 38 Degrees, saw the opinions of a varied sample of 110 voters taken in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday night’s television debate between Conservative leader Rishi Sunak and his Labour counterpart Sir Keir Starmer. Matthew McGregor, CEO of 38 Degrees, said: “The first election debate was a chance to hear how the parties would bring the change Yorkshire people desperately want and need.
A 38-year-old male student who plans to vote for the Liberal Democrats said Keir Starmer “wants to change and rebuild the country”, and a male prison officer, 52, who voted Conservative in 2019 and has now switched to Reform UK said Sir Keir “looked confident and excited that power is within his grasp”.
