Andy Burnham, Britain's newly appointed Prime Minister, has overseen a significant rebound in Labour Party polling numbers just one week into his tenure.[1] According to multiple polling organizations, Labour support has climbed from 19% before former Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation to between 26% and 28%, marking the party's highest polling figure since June 2025 and its first lead over the rival Reform Party in more than a year.[1]
The polling data reveals varying results across different firms. Survation recorded Labour at 26% compared to Reform's 24%, while YouGov showed Labour at 28% to Reform's 24%, and Opinium found both parties tied at 22%.[1] The Reform Party has correspondingly declined from its previous leading position of 27% to 24% in Survation's survey.[1]
Burnham has pursued an active policy agenda during his first week in office, introducing measures aimed at providing immediate relief for households and businesses.[1] His early initiatives include eliminating residential electricity taxes, capping public transportation fares, and reducing tax burdens on pubs.[1]
