More than half of Scots do not know what Keir Starmer stands for, according to a new survey which came out this week.
The majority of Scottish respondents to the Ipsos survey said they didn't know what the Labour leader stood for and were unsatisfied with how he was leading the party.
Seven out of 10 also said they had been given too little information about what Labour would do if it comes to power.
But the survey also had Labour only one point behind the SNP in voting intentions for the general election.
A general election is expected to take place next year, with October being rumoured as a possible date.
The Scottish respondents were part of a UK-wide survey by Ipsos which took place between June 14-21. It covered a wide range of topics, including opinions on how each party would deal with specific issues.
Some 58 of Scottish respondents said they do not know what Labour leader Starmer stands for. Only 26 per cent said they knew.
Tory Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faired slightly better, with 43 per cent saying they didn't know what he stands for and 35 per cent saying they did.
The amount of people unsatisfied with Starmer's Labour leadership was high, at 57 per cent. Only 21 per cent were satisfied.
More respondents were satisfied with Sunak's leadership of the Tories at 24 per cent. But more were also unsatisfied at 64 per cent.
Only 12 per cent said they were happy with how the UK Government is running the country, while 79 per cent said they were unhappy.
Some 70 per cent of Scots surveyed said they had been given too little information by Labour about what they would do if they win the election. This figure was higher for the Conservatives, at 75 per cent.
Labour only trailed the SNP by a point when voters were asked how they would vote if there were an election tomorrow.
The SNP was on 24 per cent while Labour was on 23 per cent. The Conservatives followed on 15 per cent, while the Lib Dems were on four per cent.
Some 20 per cent were undecided while nine per cent said they would not vote.
The most important issues for Scots surveyed were clearly the NHS, inflation and the economy. Both the NHS and inflation were chosen by 28 per cent of respondents, while managing the economy was chosen by 27 per cent.
There were 106 Scots questioned for the survey, while 1033 people were quizzed UK-wide.
The SNP’s Depute Westminster leader, Mhairi Black MP said: “Chief among Starmer’s broken promises is that of his pledge to properly oppose the Tories. Instead, as we get closer to a general election, he seems ever-more desperate to prove how alike they are.
“The Labour lurch to the right will do nothing for the households being hammered by the Tories’ cost of living crisis, nor repair the economic damage imposed upon us by the Brexit Starmer supports.
“An end to Tory rule is crucial, but more of the same is all Starmer’s Labour have to offer.
“Only the SNP are offering a real alternative to the Tories at the next election, with the full powers of independence giving us the opportunity to end Tory rule over Scotland once and for all.”
