Damning poll reveals Labour has hit rock bottom support | Politics | News


Sir Keir Starmer was dealt a huge blow this evening after a new poll was published revealing Labour has fallen to its lowest level of support yet.

More in Common found that the Conservatives have a three-point lead over Labour.

Sir Keir’s party has now fallen to 25%, down 2 points since November 11, its lowest share of the vote yet.

This means just one in four voters support the governing party, down nearly 9 points since the General Election in July.

Reform UK remains solid at 19%, just six points behind Labour.

Meanwhile the LibDems have seen a two-point increase to 13%, following vocal opposition to Rachel Reeves’ farming tax.

More in Common’s UK director Luke Tryl said that while we’re still a long way off the next election, he said it is “notable” that “a party that won a landslide less than six months ago is down 10 points and now on 25%”

He also warned that while they may be topping the poll, it’s not great news for the Conservatives either.

The two main parties now muster just 53% support between them.

Mr Tryl added: “Part of this reflects Labour’s missteps, partly its anti-incumbency and greater volatility, but beyond that, there is a deep unhappiness with the status quo and life in modern Britain.

“Our democracy is not in a healthy place.”

Earlier today Reform UK also saw a boost after a poll found they have jumped up to second place in Wales.

Survation found that one in five Welsh voters now support Nigel Farage’s insurgent party, up four points since the general election.

Conversely, Labour is down four points since the election, dropping from 37% to 33%.

The Tories remain stationary on 18%, with Plaid Cymru down two points to 13% and the LibDems up 2 points to 9%.

The poll was conducted between October 18 and November 4.

While the survey was asking about Westminter voting intention, it will give a huge moral boost for Reform UK ahead of the 2026 Welsh assembly elections where the party is hoping for success.
