comes in sixth place after Ed Davey and Kemi Badenoch.
Now, in some ways, you'd expect that.
Sitting prime ministers tend to poll pretty badly.
They've got a tough job.

favourably.
But when you dig into this data, it's not as straightforward as Andy Burnham, Zach Polanski, Nigel Farage, good to go, walking on water.
There's another question that was asked, which was about satisfaction with those leaders.
So not just who they think might be a good leader, but how satisfied they are with them.
And actually,
Zach Polanski had a satisfaction rating of 37%, and that is down 10 points on the last time Ipsos asked the question.
So even though people are aware of Zach Polanski, they feel good about him as a party leader, they're actually not that satisfied with the job that he's doing.
Nigel Farage had an even worse satisfaction rating than
of 57%, which is down 28 points on the last time they asked the question.
But poor Keir Starmer coming in right at the bottom with a satisfaction rating of just 18% and a dissatisfaction rating of 75%, down 57 points.
on the last time that Ipsos asked the question.
So I think that gives you a more nuanced sense of what young people actually feel about these leaders.
They're not looking at Zach Polanski and thinking, great, they're looking at him and analysing his performance.
And then what else have we got?
Something that might surprise you, because it surprised me, the biggest concern for this generation is inflation.
