Labour's Poll Lead Over Conservatives Narrows to One Point

Keir Starmer faces declining popularity amid controversies and leadership challenges within the Labour Party.

Recent polls show Labour's lead over the Conservatives has shrunk to just one percentage point, reflecting a significant drop since their landslide election victory in July.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's net favourability rating has fallen to minus 36, making him less popular than Nigel Farage, according to YouGov data.
Labour's early months in power have been marred by controversies, including a row over gifts received by Starmer and policy decisions like cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners.
Sue Gray, Starmer's former chief of staff, resigned amid internal disputes and negative media coverage, with Morgan McSweeney appointed as her replacement.
The Conservative Party is in the midst of a leadership race, with contenders vying to replace outgoing leader Rishi Sunak, as they seek to capitalize on Labour's struggles.
