Now voters’ attention is back on Starmer instead of Bozo and the Turnip, the Brylcreem curse is back and Starmer’s toxicity with the public is starting to show again – even against the awful Sunak
Labour’s polling lead over the Tories has fallen by more than half since late October last year. At that point, Labour’s lead over the recently Johnson-led party, that was then suffering the ravages of the appalling Liz Truss’s laughably short premiership, was 37%:
• Omnisis 20/10/22 35%
• YouGov 21/10/22 37%
• Redfield 19/10/22 36%
• People P 20/10/22 39%
Now, even against the dire Rishi Sunak, the average lead has dropped by more than half from the October high, to 17.4%:
• Survation 11/3/23 16%
• Teche 11/3/23 17%
• Savanta 11/3/23 11%
• Omnisis 11/3/23 24%
• PeopleP 11/3/23 19%
With the clownish walking catastrophes of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss out of the way, even against the appallingly bad and deeply irritating Rishi Sunak, Starmer’s Hartlepool curse is re-emerging.
The by-election in the north-eastern coastal town, where Starmer campaigned heavily, was one of the first to show that the more voters saw of him, the worse Labour did. Without the distraction of the Johnson-Truss farces, voters are noticing Starmer again – for a recent example, see the faces on a group of students forced to listen to Starmer last week and the reaction they had afterward – and the polls are plummeting accordingly.
