A Third Of Labour Voters Think Keir Starmer Should Step Down, Poll Finds
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks during an International Men's Day reception at Downing Street in London, Wednesday Nov. 19, 2025.
One in three Labour voters say Keir Starmer should step down as prime minister, according to a new poll.
A JL Partners survey, commissioned by the Independent, asked Labour voters if they thought the party had a better chance of winning the next general election if they replaced Starmer – 38% of the 1,562 adults questioned said yes.
A further 39% said getting rid of Starmer would not impact the party’s hopes at the next election, while just 13% said Labour would do worse without the prime minister at the helm and 10% did not offer an opinion.
The poll found that Labour voters have even less faith in Starmer than the general public, as only half of the wider electorate........
