Sunak, whose resignation as finance minister over a series of government scandals that helped fuel the leadership contest, is considered a better public speaker.
But he has come under criticism for sticking to fiscal conservatism to deal with runaway inflation, and his image as a wealthy technocrat has been damaged.
At the same time, he has faced accusations of betrayal in order to bring down Johnson, the Brexit hero of the Tories.
In contrast, Foreign Secretary Truss has emerged as the favorite in the vote of grassroots Tory members, the result of which will be announced next Monday.
“He is a better politician,” said John Curtis, a political scientist at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.
“If you ask me what Liz Truss’s campaign was about, I’ll tell you right away: ‘A tax cut not a handout’. Very clear,” he told AFP.
“There’s no strapline for the craze, nothing.”
For Curtis, the truce has effectively conveyed a “traditional conservative message” to Tory members, while the craze has been more nuanced.
“It’s also a bit of a lecture,” he said, assessing that the craze has come across as “a bit brittle” under pressure.
“You can see he’s been in the game for a long time,” he said.
Truss, 47, has described his ascent to the top of British politics as a “journey”, which has drawn criticism for being an ambitious opportunist.
She comes from a left-wing family and initially joined the centrist Liberal Democrats before jumping ship to the right-wing Conservatives.

In 2016, she campaigned for the UK to remain in the EU, but quickly became one of its strongest supporters when Britons voted for Brexit.
When the UK left the EU, Johnson put her in charge of negotiating new free trade deals before appointing her as foreign secretary last year.
In the role, she undertook the controversial task of trying to iron out differences with Brussels regarding post-Brexit trade in Northern Ireland.
Like Johnson, he has spoken hard on Russia and staunch support for Ukraine.
Truss’s costume sense and opportunities to be photographed in a tank in Estonia and wearing a fur hat in Moscow have drawn him to a Tory icon Margaret Thatcher,
Her sometimes harsh style has clearly become more relaxed and colleagues have tried to soften her image while revealing her love of karaoke and socializing.
“For a party that has moved in a fairly populist direction in recent years, it is able to present itself as more authentic, more ordinary than Rishi Sunak, who is all too easily part of the global elite. Presented as is,” said. Tim Balefrom Queen Mary University of London.
“Like Boris Johnson, she longs for the idea that there is some sort of elite to be combated and she establishes herself as out of place, despite being in government for eight years.”
The 42-year-old Sunak, the grandson of Indian immigrants, grew up in Southampton on the south coast of England as the son of a doctor and pharmacist.
He attended the prestigious fee-paying Winchester College School, then the University of Oxford.
Truss, who attended a state school in Leeds, northern England, also attended Oxford. Both studied politics, philosophy and economics.
Sunak met his wife, Akshata MurthyWhose father founded Indian tech giant Infosys at the American University of Stanford before joining Goldman Sachs and investment funds.
He has represented the constituency of Richmond in northern England since 2015, where he was soon flagged as a potential future prime minister.
He became finance minister in early 2020, quickly winning over government support to people and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
But a self-confessed geek with a love for Star Wars, Sunak turned opinion against him this year, when it emerged that his wife didn’t pay UK tax.
Critics have used his personal wealth, expensive clothing and homes to paint him as out of touch with the general public.
