Sadiq Khan is the Mayor of London, and he’s been in charge since 2016. That means he’s been through Brexit, a pandemic, and more transport strikes than you can shake a Tube map at. He’s also the first Muslim mayor of a major Western capital, which is a pretty big deal.
But here’s the twist: being mayor is like being a weather presenter. Everyone blames you for the rain, even if you’re just the person reading the forecast. So, how do we actually measure his popularity?
The polls say… well, it’s complicated
According to recent surveys, Khan’s approval ratings are mixed. Some polls show that around 40-45% of Londoners approve of him, while about the same number disapprove. That’s a bit like a lukewarm cup of tea—not cold, not hot, just… there.
But here’s the funny part: despite the mixed polls, he won his last re-election in 2026 with a landslide victory—over 55% of the vote. So, do polls even matter? Or do polite Londoners just lie to survey companies? It’s a mystery wrapped in a raincoat.
