'YouGov said: "New research shows that influential Britons view Boris Johnson far more positively than the leaders of the three main political parties.

The Mayor of London is the only leading politician to gain a strong net score (+53) when influential Britons were asked how well they believe UK political leaders are doing in their current roles. Two-thirds (67%) say Boris Johnson is doing a good job, and only 14% think he is doing a poor job.'
