Politics

The popularity of Scotland’s First Minister, Humza Yousaf, has taken a significant hit among his party’s voters, according to a new poll conducted by research body Norstat. The study, which surveyed 1,086 Scots for the Sunday Times, revealed that Yousaf’s net popularity score plummeted to -7% among SNP voters who participated in the 2019 general election. This marks a stark contrast to his positive 14% approval rating in January.
