Green - 6%
Other - 6%

Boris Johnson - 43%
Jeremy Corbyn - 20%
Don't know - 34%

Earlier this week we found that Britons expect the Conservatives to win the most seats and votes at the forthcoming election yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…

Why is Jeremy Corbyn so unpopular?

His net approval rating is 'minus 60' - that's heroically, historically poor.

But why? And is there a way back, like 2017?

Been pondering with help of @chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale My latest 1/thread

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale So Just how unpopular is @jeremycorbyn? Well, the answer is off-the-charts unpopular.

Negative 60. The worst approval rating ever received by a Labour or Conservative leader, according to Ipsos/Mori /2
@chriscurtis94 @robfordmancs @ProfTimBale @jeremycorbyn It's actually a game of two halves - as @chriscurtis94 observes - which saw Corby start life as leader fairly unpopular, then around the 2017 election his numbers went up, but since then (since the Glastonbury 2017 peak) they crashed. /3

People will vote differently in election, but projecting these vote shares leads to Con majority 62
electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/userco…
@YouGov If the UK left the EU, could imagine half of Brexit Party support going to Con, which would give an Electoral Calculus projection of 180 Con majority electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/userco…

A longish thread about trying to explain the differences in party support - primarily Labour - in the polls.
It is often very difficult to get to the bottom of the differences between polls. There is rarely one big, easy simple answer, it's normally a bit of lots of little, different to explain things. Hence stupid & simple explanations prosper.
One current cause seems to be different approaches to past vote weighting. Most pollsters* weight by how people voted at the last election (ensuring that the sample has 44% people who voted Conservative in 2017, 41% Labour in 2017 and so on)

I'm wondering about #Brexit and political identity, and how much this can explain the #ep2019 result in the UK, and might inform what Tories and Labour might try to do if there were a UK General Election
What the UK population things about Brexit is well documented in this PDF ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… by @UKandEU
The hardening of voter sentiment about the EU question is covered by this polling from YouGov yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
