Labour support plummets among UK Jews, poll shows
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA poll published by the London-based Jewish Chronicle shows Jewish support for the Labour Party has plummeted, amid a roiling anti-Semitism scandal.
Just 8.5 percent of respondents told pollsters they would vote Labour if elections were held tomorrow, down from the 18% who said they voted Labour in the last national elections two years ago.
The poll conducted earlier this week, shows that just 20.5% of Jews think Labour head Jeremy Corbyn is doing a “good” job of dealing with the anti-Semitism fracas, while 66.4% say he has not done enough.
The survey however, also shows that sliding Jewish support for Labour is not necessarily been brought on by Corbyn, with only 32% saying they had even considered voting for Labour in the last 10 years.
