New poll. Usual caveats, just one poll etc.
The Burnham Bump is now measurable, approximately 4-6 points — albeit alongside the Farage controversy and the Greens' numerous missteps.
I think Burnham is making lots of errors and the bump is temporary, but I think the back of the populist surge across Reform and Greens has more permanently been broken, and the next election will be back to the usual Labour/Tory/LibDem tempo.

Survation with a similar result. That's six polls confirming a bump, two with Labour leading — but four of them were from roughly the same time some weeks before he actually assumed power. Breakdowns elsewhere show most of it is coming from former Labour voters coming back — mostly from the Greens. That's no bad thing but it sets Burnham up for the inevitable tension between giving ground to the left or the right. #UKPolitics #UKPol
