## Summary

The share of voters who expect Labour to win the next general election has nearly doubled in a year, according to a More in Common poll. The findings offer a boost to Andy Burnham, whom the article says has improved perceptions of the party since becoming prime minister, while raising questions about whether that confidence will last.

The survey found 42 per cent think Labour will win, compared with 23 per cent last summer; the share expecting it to lose fell from 58 to 33 per cent. Among Reform voters, 26 per cent now expect a Labour victory, up from 11 per cent, while 72 per cent of Labour’s 2024 voters do. The poll also found that 45 per cent believe Burnham’s proposal to rejoin the EU reflects well on him; More in Common questioned 3,286 adults from 23 to 26 October.
