The polling, carried out from August 24 to 27, found that 56% disapprove of Labour's controversial decision to axe winter fuel payments for most pensioners, compared to just 23% who back the move.
Some 82% of over 75s oppose the move, but this drops to 36% among those aged 18-24.

The PM has faced accusations of cronyism following revelations Lord Waheed Alli, a major Labour donor, had received a security pass for 10 Downing Street, as well as jobs in the Civil Service being given to Labour donors.

Just 23% approve in the survey conducted between August 24 and 26.
Dylan Difford, a data journalist at YouGov, said: “While it is true to say that the new government is currently more popular than its predecessor was before the election, it is more a case of being less unpopular than popular in its own right.
