The Labour vote share in this poll is almost a third lower than their total for July's General Election.
Pollsters at Find Out Now believe this is for several reasons, including that Labour voters are less likely to say they will vote, or less likely to vote for the party again.
Only 84% of 2024 General Election Labour voters said in the poll that they would "definitely" or "very likely" vote if there were a General Election called tomorrow, compared to 95% of Conservatives and 90% of Reform UK voters.
Meanwhile, just 69% of 2024 General Election Labour voters said they’ll vote Labour again, compared to 82% of Conservatives and 90% of Reform UK voters.
