CNN Slams Keir Starmer's "Atrocious" Ratings, 'Makes Trump Look Like Abraham Linco
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Steve WatsonThis brutal takedown highlights how Starmer's globalist policies are alienating Brits across the board.
As the Labour leader clings to power, his war on free speech and commitment to protecting illegal immigration is fueling a backlash that could spell the end for his regime. With polls showing just 20% approval, Starmer's grip on Number 10 looks increasingly tenuous.
The Overton News clip, which has gone viral on X, captures CNN's scathing assessment of Starmer's popularity nosedive.
In the segment, analyst Harry Enten declares, "These numbers are absolutely ATROCIOUS! I mean, you never see numbers like this in the United States of America."
Focusing on the dire stats, Enten points out, "Britons who like Keir Starmer, look at this — overall it's just 1 in 5! It's just 1 in 5, 20%!"
Even within his own ranks, support is crumbling:
"His OWN party, Labour, he's just at 52% there."
The commentary escalates, revealing, "I've even seen numbers with satisfaction in the TEENS — and this is actually HIGHER than the lowest."
The most striking line compares Starmer unfavorably to Trump:
"You know, we always talk about Donald Trump being unpopular in this country — but Donald Trump looks downright like Abraham Lincoln compared to Keir Starmer's numbers at this point!"
The latest YouGov survey from February 2026 shows Starmer's net favourability at -47, with only 22% viewing him positively against 69% unfavorably. That's an improvement from January's -57, but still abysmal for a sitting PM.
Other trackers paint an even grimmer picture. Ipsos reported satisfaction in the teens late last year, aligning with CNN's observations. Opinium's February poll pegs his net approval at -44, with over half the public calling for his resignation.
Starmer's woes stem from policies that prioritize globalist agendas over British interests. Mass immigration continues unchecked, straining public services while borders remain porous. Economic missteps, like burdensome regulations on businesses, echo the failures of socialist experiments.
Recall our earlier coverage where a former aide to Starmer revealed how a "stakeholder state" – an unelected network of insiders, NGOs, and civil servants – effectively controls the UK government.
Paul Ovenden described this "political perma-class" as diverting power from voters to elite priorities, wasting resources on fringe issues while ignoring secure borders and sovereignty.
