Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll

A new poll will make grim reading for Keir Starmer, with Labour's popularity seemingly tumbling even further. Find Out Now's Voting Intention tracker surveys the public on who they would vote for if an election were called tomorrow. Their latest polling, conducted on September 17 and 18, shows the governing party on its lowest ever share of the vote (16%).

It represents a drop of -3 since September 10, according to the firm. Little more than a year after Sir Keir's landslide victory, Labour is now level with the Tories, who also got just 16%.

But it's good news for Reform UK, who remain at 34%, and appear to be cementing their position as the main opposition to the current Labour Government.

Meanwhile, the Lib Dems were found to be on 13%, representing an uptick of +1 on last week, and the Greens still on 12%.

However, the firm notes that "small week-on-week changes in results may be caused more by random sampling variation, rather than reflect genuine shifts in public opinion".

According to Find Out Now, the main trend the election has been Reform's growth, "driven by them by retaining almost all of their 2024 GE support (retaining far more than any other party), winning over a third (38%) of 2024 GE Conservative voters, and winning a majority (64%) of people who didn't vote in 2024 but say they would 'definitely vote' this time".
