Starmer is not doing "far" worse than Cameron, or "about as bad" as Miliband - unless, of course, you are going to do that time honoured online thing of selectively cherry picking your polls.
Yes, he is nowhere near where Blair was - but so what? I'm coming to the conclusion that mention of him in this context should be banned - he was a one off that we will likely never see again.
With respect, I'm not cherry-picking anything. The numbers above regarding the perception of how ready starmer is to form a labor government, even if to his benefit One Drops that particularly low 25% positive rating, puts him anywhere from 10 to 20 points behind David Cameron's results on that same question. And yes, his numbers are indeed close to identical, or possibly at most a point or two better on average, than what millibrands were.
If one wishes to debate that the comparison here isn't applicable for whatever reasons, I'm all ears. But yes right now voters seem to have only about as much confidence in starmer being able to put together a labor government as they did Ed millibrands. Sorry, but them's the figures.
