Has the Bubble Burst? - Polling boost for TMay as she takes a “best PM” lead amongst young voters for first time since GE2017
Corbyn could be losing his advantages with the youth vote
The narrative that started following the shock general election result last June was that Corbyn and his party had managed tap into the youth vote who were turning out in greater numbers than at recent elections.
Much of this can be seen in looking at the age splits to leadership ratings and who would make the best prime minister findings from different pollsters since the election. Certainly up to now Labour and Corbyn have continued to attract the support of the young in greater numbers than the Conservatives.
But the detailed data from the Observer Opinium poll paints a very different picture. In every published survey since the election Opinium had found that the Labour leader had clear leads amongst the young segment to the “best PM” question when the options are TMay or Corbyn.
This had been narrowing, as can be seen in the chart, but Corbyn had retained a constant lead amongst the young until this latest one.
Now Theresa May is the top choice for the 18-34 year old segment with a lead of 4%. Quite why this should be is hard to say given that young voters are much more likely to be pro the EU and hostile to the referendum outcome.
It could be that Corbyn and his party are continuing to be damaged by the equivocation over Brexit and the ongoing difficulties in relation to antisemitism.
As we say with all polling analysis we need to look at further surveys before coming to firm conclusions but this is one to watch.
