Depressed

According to YouGov the Labour Party is more unpopular than it's ever been since polling began in 1943.

The closest any Labour leader has come to Brown's current rating is Michael Foot, who led the party in opposition against Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in the early 1980s.



However, the best comparison for Gordon Brown may be Jim Callaghan, the Labour prime minister who inherited office from Harold Wilson and went on to govern through three years of economic turmoil.
