I think it was some poll on conservative homes that everybody uses as evidence at bojo is the
favourite, not sure if that would be open to anybody or just member of the Tory party.Its not all good news for bojo,
As many people dislike him as like him.

He pointed out that many of these swing voters can be found in Conservative strongholds in the home counties and south-east – including areas where the Liberal Democrats made significant gains at the expense of the Tories at last month’s local elections.
That's the key I guess. When you break down the numbers, will having a "pro-Brexit"* leader risk marginal seats or not? I can't help but think that when it comes to the election, it'll be a bit Macron and Le Pen - with the general public holding their noise and voting for BJ to prevent a Corbyn govt.
What's interesting about the YouGov poll quoted is that those surveyed feel like they know BJ. Next closest "don't know enough" is Gove who polls 25% to BJ's 10%.
*as if BJ is pro anything other than himself

Do you think so?
The couple of Conservative members I know (one of whom is a BJ fanboy), don't think he is that widely liked by the members. So I'd be really interested to see some numbers either way.
Out of all the hopefuls he's the one I think will play best to the electorate. Ultimately out of a choice between him and JC, it seems pretty certain that BJ would clean up.
