Following a week of rioting, Keir Starmer's favourability ratings have slipped further, and are now back to the same level they were prior to the general election.

This may mark the end of Keir Starmer's "honeymoon period" - by contrast, it wasn't until the year 2000 that Tony Blair's approval ratings consistently slipped to the level they were prior to the 1997 general election

What are the most important issues for British voters? As the 2024 UK election campaign continues, we asked Britons about the issues that will determine their vote.

Asked to choose up to three top issues, the cost of living comes up most frequently with 45% of Britons saying it’s the one of the most important issues that will decide their vote. Distantly trailing are health (34%), the economy (32%), and immigration (26%). When asked about their SINGLE most important issue, the cost of living remains at the top (26%), but immigration climbs to second at 18%.

The priorities of Conservative, Labour, and Reform UK voters vary dramatically. While cost of living is named most frequently by Labour voters (58%), immigration tops the list for Conservative voters (45%). This figure climbs even more for Reform UK voters – 82% state that immigration is one of their top issues.

There are also significant differences in priorities between generations. While those over 65 are most likely to highlight immigration as a top issue (44%), only 14% of 18-24 year olds feel the same. Instead, the cost of living is the most commonly given answer for 49% of 18-24 year olds, compared to 31% of those over the age of 65.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, with commemorations taking place in Northern France. As we look back to what is often seen as the beginning of the end of the war in Europe, YouGov asked the British, French, German and American publics to weigh in on the long-running debate – which country made the biggest contribution to defeat the N***s?

39% of Britons believe that the UK contributed the most in defeating the Germans, while only 20% thought the US deserved most of the credit – and just 15% the Soviet Union.

However people in Germany, France, and the US are all more likely to say that the Americans had the most influence in ending N***sm in Europe. This is particularly the case in the USA, where 59% of Americans think the US contributed the most, compared to 47% in France and 34% in Germany (where the Soviet Union comes in a close second, at 31%).

French public opinion on the war is remarkably different now compared to surveys conducted at the time. While French people today tend to see the American contribution as greatest, a poll conducted in 1945 showed that 57% felt that the Soviet Union had done the most to bring down the N**i regime.
