Boris Johnson has been branded the worst world leader over his mishandling of Coronavirus crisis, as per YouGov poll.

The YouGov survey found the majority of Brits believed Prime Minister Boris Johnson had not handled the coronavirus pandemic well – the worst in the world.

The YouGov survey said 41% of Brits think the Government's response to the pandemic has been appropriate.

But, another 56% said the handling has been poor, which gives Mr Johnson an overall score of -15 – down from -6 the previous week.

Only Mexico's leader shares this score, with US President Donald Trump not far behind on -12, in similar polls by their own citizens.

Meanwhile, Taiwan (+87), Australia (+76) and Denmark (+73) hold the highest rating in the world.

I actually thought Johnson and the Government were doing a decent job, to begin with. This continued when Dominic Raab took temporary control of the government but since Johnson came out of hospital it seems like the ship has been all over the place. It doesn't really look like they have a concrete plan on how to get back to some sort of normality.

He's done a shite job IMO. Took too late to implement lockdown measures, didn't enforce them strictly enough and now apparently it's absolutely fine to be in huge crowds. A load of bollocks.

Should be held to account when the correct time comes and we can look at the big picture of this whole sorry mess. Others too. They want responsibility, then they have to take accountability too. If people have been found to have acted negligently which has resulted in unnecessary loss of life then it should be dealt with accordingly in due course.

Even the Tories themselves are having doubts

At the first opportunity, others in government will throw him to the lions. His time is numbered as the leader.
