One-third of Labour Voters Consider Corbyn To Be Anti-Semitic But Would Vote For Him Anyway

I have worried that Jeremy Corbyn being antisemitic might not be the vote loser that decent people believe should be the case. 

'MOBOPINIONS Insight, released a representative sample poll of 1,903 citizens of the United Kingdom. The poll found that the majority of Britons, 57%, do not think Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is Anti-Semitic and that his views are legitimate. 43% expressed an opinion that his views on Jews and Israel are Anti-Semitic. Two-thirds (65%) of Labour party voters said his views are legitimate but a full one-third (35%) said he was Anti-Semitic even though they intend to vote Labour in the next election. Among Conservative voters it was evenly split 51% vs. 49% in favor of those who think he is Anti-Semitic.'

Maybe Jew hatred is more common amongst Labour voters than you might think. Maybe the BBC's incessant anti-Israel propaganda that has often leant into antisemitism has had the intended effect. 

More of that pole here
