8. Perhaps the most unpopular PM at the start of his term ever

YouGov say he has a 31% favourable, 58% unfavourable rating, compared to May's 48% favourable, 36% unfavourable at her start.

Brown, also coming in without a general election, had a plus 7 percent approval rating in July 2007.

I expect Cameron and Blair, coming in after winning general elections, were OK; they can't possibly have been down at -27%. Not sure if such polls were taken when Major started, or if they'd be available on the net.
