Labour up SIX POINTS in first poll since Starmer announced his departure
A post-Starmer bounce?
The first poll carried out since Keir Starmer announced he’s standing down as prime minister has been published. It’s good news for the Labour Party.
Polling firm Find Out Now carried out the poll from 24-25 June in the immediate aftermath of Starmer’s announcement.
The poll found support for Labour is up substantially on a week prior.
The full results of the poll were as follows:
- Reform: 24 per cent
- Labour: 21 per cent
- Tory: 18 per cent
- Green: 15 per cent
- Lib Dem: 12 per cent
- SNP: 3 per cent
That might not seem to be too positive for Labour at a first glance. However, the 21 per cent for Labour is up six points on the 15 per cent Find Out Now had the party on just one week ago.
Reform are down three points on the previous week, the Greens down two points and the Lib Dems down one.
It remains to be seen whether this poll is an outlier or instead part of a wider trend.
