New poll shows the gap between Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer
- New polling indicates Jeremy Corbyn is considerably more popular among 18-24 year-olds than Sir Keir Starmer.
- Corbyn holds an approval rating of plus 18 within this demographic, contrasting with Sir Keir's minus 30.
- Despite this, both leaders maintain nearly identical overall approval ratings among the wider public, with Sir Keir on minus 40 and Mr Corbyn on minus 39.
- The survey suggests the government's decision to extend voting rights to 16 and 17-year-olds could inadvertently benefit Corbyn's newly launched political party.
