With the rest neutral or not giving an opinion.

I sometimes try to remind people like me that the public will only โ€œknowโ€ about 6-7 politicians at any one time - Starmer, Farage, Reeves plus Sunak, Johnson, Blair. And Margaret Thatcher

Sir Robert Worcester, legendary pollster and founder of MORI (now Ipsos UK) has died at 91. He taught so many people so much about the value and importance of opinion polls in modern democracies - everyone in our industry and politics owes him a debt of gratitude.

This is literally why strategists in No10 decided they needed a bigger reshuffle - the frustration Starmer and his aides felt that some ministers had been totally captured by skittish departments slowing things down. (Is that true? Who knows!)
