Today’s 2nd terrible poll for Corbyn: YouGov ratings from its latest Scotland survey
Just 19% of Scots LAB GE2015 voters say Corbyn doing well, 66% badly
Remember in those by-gone days in September 2015 when Mr. Corbyn pulled off his sensational leadership victory? Remember what he said would be his biggest initial priority? That was going to be Scotland where five months earlier Labour had slumped from 40 seats in the general election to just one – the same as the LD and CON.
This was absolutely awful for the party and raised serious doubts over whether at Westminster they could ever be a party of government again. Corbyn, quite rightly I’d suggest, said Scotland would be a major early priority.
Well LAB got hammered in the May 2016 Holyrood elections and now we have a YouGov Scotland poll which focuses almost entirety on leader ratings.
There are some reasonable numbers for Sturgeon, May and Ruth Davidson but the finding over the UK LAB leader, Mr. Corbyn are appalling, particularly amongst those who voted for the party at GE2015.
I don’t recall ever seeing as bad ratings figures for a party leader from party supporters.
All this will add to the pressure as he strives to hold onto his job.
