Read our privacy policy Boris Johnson’s poll ratings have suffered a major slump following the loud altercation with his girlfriend, as voters say his private life does matter in the race for No 10. More than half of voters said Mr Johnson's private life was relevant to his ability to be prime minister and three-quarters said a candidate's character was relevant to the contest. “It is unusual to see a politician's private life having this level of salience among voters,” said Damian Lyons Lowe, chief executive of pollsters Survation. Instead, Mr Johnson insisted an audience of Conservative members at the first hustings of the Tory leadership race wanted to know “what my plans are for my country and for the party”.
