Corbyn Drops Even Lower as Least Popular Opposition Leader in History
New polling by Ipsos MORI today has revealed Jeremy Corbyn is solidifying his position as the least popular Leader of the Opposition in the history of British politics. No surprise he keeps voting down an election…
At the end of June, Corbyn dropped to the lowest ever LOTO rating with -58 approval, but today he has surpassed even that – dropping a clear four points behind Michael Foot’s personal best. He went on to lead Labour to its worst defeat since before the second world war, granting the Tories a 144 seat majority…
This is a pretty dire situation for Labour, as PoliticalBetting points out, he would have to stage a recovery far in excess of what happened in 2017 to have any hope of winning. Labour faces bigger challenges of a more charismatic Tory leader, a resurgent Lib Dems, and far fewer voters who categorise themselves as ‘undecided’. Corbyn’s poll rating before that election was just -25%, half as unpopular as today…

Yep. They really are not helping themselves. However I saw some poll figures earlier today that showed that if Johnson fails to get a Brexit deal and is forced to extend and there is another election during the extension its likely Labour will overtake the Tories and the LibDems and Brexit party will increase their vote share. This could lead to a Labour LibDem coalition but one of Jo Swinsons conditions would be give Corbyn the boot. If that happens it could be a Labour LibDem coalition and a referendum on whatever deal they come up with. No wonder Johnson was keen to hold the election now. Lets not also forget that Corbyn came from nowhere in 2017 with a 21 Tory point lead in the polls.
Interesting times indeed.
