With approval of the Government’s management of the vaccine rollout standing at 72%, the Tories have extended their lead over Labour up to nine points, according to new polling by Opinium. This is the party’s largest lead since May last year. Approval of the Government’s handling of Covid overall is also net positive for the first time since May (at 44%), and over half of those polled believe that Britain is unlocking at about the right pace.
Conservative Party voters were also shown to be the most supportive of vaccine passports, both for domestic and international use. Here are the key findings.
The Conservatives expand their lead to nine points, their largest lead since May last year, according to Opinium’s latest poll. The Conservatives currently have 45% of the vote (+4 from two weeks ago), while Labour have 36% (-1), Lib Dems have 6% and the Greens 4%. …
Overall approval of the Government’s handling of the pandemic is net positive for the first time since May last year. This rise coincides with the vaccine rollout in February, and 44% now approve of the Tories’ handling and 36% disapprove.
Unsurprisingly, approval for handling of the vaccine rollout remains strong with 72% approving and only 8% disapproving. This is high even among Labour voters (71%) and SNP voters (57%). …
As lockdown measures continue to ease next week, over half (54%) think the roadmap is easing is at about the right pace, up slightly from 47% two weeks ago. Those thinking it was moving “too quickly” has dropped from 31% to 27% and “too slowly” from 12% to 10%.
The public is, on balance, supportive of the idea of vaccine passports, with 57% supporting this for entering busy venues within the UK and over two thirds (68%) for international travel. In both cases, the Conservative voters are the most supportive (70% for domestic and 83% for international) and Labour voters are more mixed (57% for domestic and 69% for international).
Adam Drummond, the Head of Political Polling at Opinium, has pinned the extension of the Conservative’s lead over Labour on the Government’s handling of the vaccine rollout.
The vaccine bounce continues to yield political benefits for the Government with their strongest figures for handling the pandemic since they first became negative last May. In terms of voting intention the figures bounce around due to statistical noise but there is a consistent Conservative lead in the high single digits.

Wonderful to see! The energy is so high, and there is so many there that the police have withered down into a few small groups. This is probably better that what would have happened in normal times! They’re just making their way down to Doris’s gaff now…
BBC doing their usual with zero coverage…
The BBC are finished. This is being filmed and shared worldwide, same as yesterday’s march, by the people. Don’t need the MSM.
Sadly the majority of the public don’t believe sources other than the MSM broadcast media…
Great to see the footage elsewhere.
Lots of Soy Boys, they ain’t gonna get your freedom back for you
Where’s all the ‘real men’ been during this whole shit show? The football firms and wannabe gangsters? Being a ‘man’ has nothing to do with appearance. It’s what’s in your heart, being free of mind and thought and how you treat others that counts.
Oh Jesus, pass the sick bucket we are done for
Grow up man and have some integrity.
Agree. And use less of the blasphemy.
At least they had the balls to get out there and be heard. Plenty of people I thought were real men are still wandering around Tesco in bitch muzzles.
Is this related to the “Danser Encore” flash mob/ protests in France and other parts of Europe? Very encouraging, go young people and dance! I’m not as young as I was but I would join in!

Why is there always someone lurking in the background with a mask on, taking a picture with his phone? It stands out like a man keeping his hat on in church.
