The Labor leader has been working hard to make progress on the huge advantage that the prime minister and the Conservatives built after the general election last December. That seemed to have paid off as Labor recently outperformed rivals in some major polls as the government was forced to fight back against criticism for its efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. But the latest Savanta ComRes poll shows that despite Conservatives facing multiple crises, support for Sir Keir’s Labor Party has quickly faded.
The poll, conducted from 6 to 8 November, asked: “If there were general elections tomorrow to elect deputies to Westminster, which of the following parties do you think you would vote for or vote for another party?”

The Prime Minister and his Conservative Party have risked the fury of the British population by placing the country back on a four-week national lockdown in a desperate attempt to stem the rapid spread of coronavirus infections.
But late last month, Labor plunged into crisis after former leader Jeremy Corbyn was suspended after he said the degree of anti-Semitism in the party had been “dramatically exaggerated for political reasons” in response to a report.
His comments came in response to the findings of an 18-month investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (ECHR), which found the party to be responsible for illegal acts of harassment and discrimination.
The workers were found to be responsible for three violations of the Equality Law (2010) related to: political interference in complaints, lack of adequate training for those handling anti-Semitism and harassment cases.

But Corbyn responded to the report, adding that the scale of the problem of antisemitism in the Labor Party was “dramatically exaggerated” for political reasons.
The Labor Party later announced that the party had “suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation” after he did not retract the comments.
Separately, Savanta’s coronavirus data tracker shows that Johnson’s net approval rating for his handling of the coronavirus crisis has risen by five percent from last week, to -16 percent.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock’s net approval rating has risen by the same margin, but remains at negative -17 percent.
