Are you worried about Labour's polling figures?

The latest Guardian/ICM poll has given the Conservatives a 16-point lead over Labour - a slight narrowing on the last poll, in which the Tories were 17 points ahead.

Despite May’s government’s ongoing struggles with Brexit and issues such as NHS funding, an Opinium/Observer poll found twice as many people trust Theresa May on the economy and Brexit negotiations than Jeremy Corbyn.

Barring the unexpected, Britain’s next general election isn’t until 2020. And it would be wrong to read too much into opinion polls, particularly given their inaccurate predictions ahead of the 2015 general election and the EU referendum.

But some Labour members and supporters are concerned about Labour’s performance a few months on from the party’s second leadership election in two years.

If you’re a Labour supporter or member, we’d like to hear your views. Are you worried about the party’s polling figures? What needs to be done differently to cut through to voters? Are you happy with the direction of the party under Corbyn, and do you remain hopeful that the party can win the next general election?

Take part in our poll and share your thoughts in the comments thread below.
