That's scary from a Labour perspective. There is ALWAYS a bounce for a new leader. So, if this is the bounce, what will the polls look like neaer election time. This is really bad for democracy (the little bit we really have). No-one to hold the government to account.

Not forgetting the Lib Dems have a new leader too and also no bounce.
I can't believe how silent the Lib Dems have been. You would think a new leader plus Labour implosion would have at least got the party into double figures. Their coffers must have emptied but also too much time taken up by the media bashing Corbyn and not enough coverage about the Lib Dem rebuild.
We need healthy political debate and yet one opposition party is being ridiculed and the other ignored. Something has to change, for the sake of democracy.

Amazing that Labour are ranking so high.
How many months until they're polling worse than UKIP?

Unfortunately for the Tories and fortunately for Labour, Corbyn will be long gone by 2020 election, he may appeal to sixth form students and morning star readers, but he's completely unelectable. A coup will come down the line.

Yet Corbyn is polling more popular than Cameron, still I can BOUNCE this thread in 2020
(Puts finger to pursed lips) Ssshhhhhhhh! We want to keep him.

Former Labour leader Ed Miliband has broken his silence over his successor Jeremy Corbyn – and suggested he was turning out to be an even bigger flop than he was.
Mr Miliband had stayed tight-lipped about Mr Corbyn’s disastrous performance, but last week, he astonished a group of Labour MPs by telling them: ‘I bet you didn’t think things would actually get worse.’

Looking at the rest of the ComRes poll they repeated their favourability questions about party leaders, finding a drop in Jeremy Corbyn’s ratings since September. 22% now have a favourable perception of Corbyn (down 2), 50% have an unfavourable perception (up 8). In comparison 38% of people have a favourable impression of David Cameron (up 3), 42% have an unfavourable perception of Cameron (no change).

Any idea how this would translate into seats ?

Surely the one lesson from the last election was that polling can give an unreliable picture. Why bother with it when we are so far away from a general election?
It is the obsession with popularity which seems to stop our governments and opposition from achieving constructive improvements. If we stop caring about polls, maybe they will too. Then they could all put more focus on trying to develop and test policy proposals. http://www.badscience.net/2012/06/h...out-randomised-trials-of-government-policies/

I agree, but the trouble for Labour is that the rules of electing the next party leader will still be in place. They are just as likely to get another hard left unelectable leader. If they want to return to power they need to parachute David Miliband into a safe seat and let him have a couple of years of turning the party into an electable one.
The problem with that is that it will not be a left wing party anymore and the true Labour supporters will not be represented. They have two choices. Either get elected with centre policies or stay in opposition with their true left wing Labour principles.

Cameron is not going to be leader though in 2020, so not sure he's that worried.
Based on both the general election and how groovy it currently is to be part of Club Corbyn, I think the only thing we can deduce is the Tories are probably even further ahead than the polls illustrate.
