Leadership approval opinion polling for the 2019 United Kingdom general election explained

At various dates in the run up to the 2019 general election, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge the opinions that voters hold towards political leaders. Results of such polls are displayed in this article. Most of the polling companies listed are members of the British Polling Council (BPC) and abide by its disclosure rules.

The date range for these opinion polls is from the previous general election, held on 8 June 2017, to the present day. Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, the next general election was scheduled to be held no later than 5 May 2022,^[1] and it was accelerated from that timetable by the Early Parliamentary General Election Act 2019, meaning polling day fell on 12 December 2019.

• BMG Research: "If you had to choose between the two, who would you prefer to see as the next Prime Minister?"
• YouGov / Survation: "Which of the following do you think would make the best Prime Minister?"
• Ipsos MORI: "Who do you think would make the most capable Prime Minister, the Conservatives’ Boris Johnson, or Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn?"
• ICM: "Putting aside which party you support, and only thinking about your impressions of them as leaders, which one of the following do you think would make the best Prime Minister for Britain?"
