May’s popularity plummets INTERNATIONALLY while Corbyn flies to new poll high
Labour leaps into the lead. Expect that lead to increase – not diminish – in the near future.
Even Tory-owned pollsters YouGov are now showing the Labour Party with a clear lead over the Tories, in their latest research for The Times.
Corbyn led Labour would win a general election:
Voting intention:
LAB: 46%
CON: 38%
LDEM: 6%
UKIP: 4%
GRN: 1%YouGov poll 5th-6th July

This is the first time Labour has ever polled as high with YouGov:
For those that follow polls: Do you know the last time Labour polled 46% with YouGov? Never.

Today's 46% LAB share in the latest YouGov Times poll is the biggest figure that the firm has ever recorded for the party

Most damning of all for the Tories is the fact that Labour is even further ahead of them with the top earners and achievers in the country:
Extraordinary. Detail from today's YouGov poll has the ABC1s with an 11% LAB lead. Tories no longer party of the upper classes!

Meanwhile, Theresa May is now – officially – one of the most unpopular national leaders in the world.

It is already being rumoured that Mrs May will face a wave of cabinet resignations in the autumn. This would be similar to the attempted coup faced by Jeremy Corbyn last year, from which the Labour leader emerged stronger than before. Will she manage the same feat?
Or will she even last that long?

Ha ha! That leaves the Nasty Party in a dilemma. If they dump May who do they put in her place who isn’t already discredited and unpopular? Here’s hoping her popularity just keeps on plummeting.
