POLL: The Tories are STILL crushing Labour
WPA Pool / Pool
- ICM online poll: Conservatives 41 / Labour 27
- It is the third straight ICM/Guardian poll to put Labour below 30%
- Labour's awful ratings are not damaging Corbyn's re-election hopes
ICM's latest voter intention survey shows that public opinion does not look like it is shifting anytime soon when it comes to the Tory government and Labour opposition. The poll puts the Conservatives a whopping 14-points ahead of Labour - the third consecutive ICM/Guardian poll to put Jeremy Corbyn's Labour below the 30% mark.
The survey, which collected responses from 2,040 adults, is just the latest in a series of opinion polls to give the Tories commanding leads over Labour. This is what it means for Business Insider's voter intention polls tracker. As the annotations illustrate, a gulf has separated the two parties since mid-July.

A poll published by YouGov at this stage in the last electoral cycle, August 30 2011, gave Ed Miliband's Labour a five-point lead over the Tories. Labour went on to lose the 2015 general election. The opposition party has almost always been leading the government at this point throughout history. On average, governments have plummeted to net ratings of -8 points at this stage in the cycle.
Yet, despite this, current Labour leader Corbyn is on course to regain his position with an even bigger mandate than his victory last year. A new YouGov poll put the veteran socialist 24-points ahead of challenger Owen Smith.
