I REALLY question the methodology of the poll if this is the results but I have a theory why if this is true: the lockdowns weren't fully enforced to the extent of others.
Don't get me wrong, businesses were closed and you had an overzealous police force trying to be mini fascists but the lockdown was ended with the public refusing to comply. Compared to other places like Canada and parts of America, it was only when people saw on social media how the UK public didn't give a shit anymore and got on with their lives that pressure mounted to do the same.
If they had to wait for the government to free them from lockdowns than a public reaction, there would probably be more negativity
Generally weak enforcement, and they ended without any kind of fight. A far, far cry from what we saw in Canada, or even in the US. Unless you had children too young to say home alone, worked in a shuttered business, or had someone you couldn't visit in hospital/care homes, lockdown barely affected you. In fact, it probably benefitted you by normalizing working from home.
So millions of people are given a false idea that the government got things 'more or less right', just because they personally didn't suffer.
lockdown was ended with the public refusing to comply.
Because the Tory government was repeatedly shown to be flat out ignoring their own rules. The rules they came up with, told everyone to follow, and then turned around and had numerous parties which ignored every single thing the public had been told to do.
This meant people missed funerals, hospital bedside last moments with relatives, and any form of socialising outside of what were little else than arbitrary group sizes.
Hell even the Queen ended up following them as shown when she was sitting, masked, by herself at her husband's state funeral. And it would be revealed the same Tory government had been partying into the early hours on the same morning of that funeral.
That is why the public stopped complying, the lying and hypocrisy from the ones in charge who made up the rules everyone was meant to be following. For months after those in government would drag their heels over admitting if anything had actually happened.
This is still going on this week with Boris Johnson being grilled over whether he lied about events during lockdown.
Deflection and dismissal of any and all accusations there were gatherings, meetings, parties, and other events that went on only to be repeatedly proven lying further because the newspapers who were carrying the stories were intentionally drip feeding the accusations over days to give those accused more than enough time to dig a hole of more lies before evidence would be published showing the rules had been broken. There were pictures taken at many of these events, officially taken and paid for with public spending money. That's how fucking stupid the Tory government is right now.

You're 100% right. Because nobody had to fight to end them, there is some belief that the health leaders actually were doing the right thing.
