He might have delivered a seemingly triumphant speech at Labour’s annual conference in Brighton this week, but that hasn’t stopped Jeremy Corbyn from receiving the worst ratings on record for a Labour leader in 60 years.
In a YouGov poll for The Sun, the bearded left winger was given a ‘-8’ approval rating, in stark contrast to the ‘+26’ rating that predecessor Ed Miliband received in 2010.
The survey also revealed that 58 percent of people believe Labour has ‘seriously lost touch with ordinary people.’
And 71 percent of people were also found to believe that Labour needed to make ‘major’ changes to their policies.

Corbyn’s rating is even lower than that of Pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith – who scored a rating of zero when he took charge of the Conservative Party in 2001.
‘Most opposition leaders start with voters giving them the benefit of the doubt. They then try to justify that initial faith’, YouGov chairman Peter Kellner said.
‘Few voters are giving Mr Corbyn that, so his challenge is to win over the many millions of doubters.
‘He has broken records for the unpopularity of a new Opposition leader, which means he has a truly enormous mountain to climb to challenge for power.
But these latest figures are a total contrast to a snap poll conducted by Sky News after Corbyn’s speech – which found that 53 percent of people could see him as a future Prime Minister, and 59 percent of people were more likely to vote for him.
