The country will head to the polls to vote on who will be the next prime minister in the General Election on July 4.
Leading up to the election, Sunak will have to convince the public to hand his party a fifth consecutive election victory following 14 years of Tory rule.
However, the Conservative Party winning the upcoming general election is an unappealing prospect for most Britons, according to a new poll.
It found some 59 per cent of voters would be “dismayed” or “disappointed” if the result of the election is an overall majority for Sunak and the Conservative party.

The data, taken from a YouGov poll, shows that only 15 per cent of respondents would be “delighted” with a Sunak victory, while another 15 per cent said that they “wouldn’t mind.”
When compared to a poll taken in 2019, it suggests more people would be upset by a Sunak victory than they would have been if Jeremy Corbyn had triumphed.
Overall, 52 per cent of respondents would have been “disappointed” or “dismayed” by a Corbyn triumph in 2019.
And 28 per cent said they would be “delighted” or “pleased” if Corbyn won in 2019, compared to Sunak’s 15 per cent.

The 2019 election saw the former Conservative Party leader Boris Johnson win a sweeping victory with a thumping defeat of the main opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.
But now, only 38 per cent of those who backed the Conservatives in 2019 would be happy to see them re-elected in 2024.
Another 29 per cent would be unhappy to see the party they formerly voted for come into power once again.
Despite Labour’s lead in the polls, the public remains divided over how they would feel by a Labour majority.
Some 34 per cent would be happy about the election results but similarly 35 per cent would be unhappy.
