Labour Grassroots Survey: June Results
Here's a summary of the results (full results are further below):
Our activists and supporters are a lot more motivated to campaign for Labour, right now. Based on scales of 1 to 10, in May 2008 we were at 3.58, whilst this latest survey (June 2008) reveals an upwards shift of 2.28 points, at 5.86 points.
When asked, "After Crewe, what must the Leader of the Party do to ensure the best possible result for Labour at the next election?" - the majority responded with these three choices:
- Provide direction and leadership, delegating detail to ministers
- Bolster Labour's core vote
- Restore the Party's financial situation
When asked, "How much time would you be prepared to give Gordon Brown to begin reversing Labour's fortunes, before you would want him to step aside?"
- More than a third of respondents said Gordon Brown should lead Labour into the next general election

Labour Grassroots Survey: May Results
A Labourhome.org survey of 330 party activists has illustrated the extent of the challenge Gordon Brown faces in order to rebuild confidence in his leadership.This is the first Labour Grassroots Survey and we will be tracking perception of Labour's Cabinet Ministers. The key figure each month will be the change from previous months, however, these figures show a severe denting of confidence in some of Labour's leading figures.
Respondents were asked how they would rate the Cabinet on a scale of 1-10 and the scores are in the table above.
The poll closed before the announcement yesterday of the increase in the Basic Rate Tax threshold, so includes none of the effect of that decision, however, it is notable that while Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown himself languish beneath all other Cabinet colleagues, David Miliband, Alan Johnson, Hilary Benn and Jack Straw, all feasible future leaders of the Labour Party, monopolise the top of the Cabinet rankings. Even fifth placed John Denham is widely respected and could be seen as a future leadership contender. Ed Balls, also seen to be positioning himself for the succession, is rated in the lower half of the table, just above Defense Secretary Des Brown, who it is rumoured faces a deshuffling in favour of John Hutton.
