After his [trainwreck interview, ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tecUadXe82k&ref=goodoil.news)you’d think Jeremy Corbyn would have acted to halt the over-riding impression he is a nasty little anti-Semite.

YouGov has released a poll in the UK that suggests the problem for Labour is bigger than just having a Jew-hating leader.

> Loyal supporters of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn are more likely to agree with statements deemed to be anti-Semitic than supporters of other political leaders, a poll has revealed.   
>  
> The poll by YouGov asked respondents their opinion of British political leaders and gave them a series of statements about Jews to agree or disagree with.   
>  
> **Of those who said they ‘strongly like’ the Labour leader, 35 per cent agreed with four or more statements deemed anti-Semitic. 58 per cent agreed with two or more of anti-Jewish views.**   
>  
> Respondents who supported other leaders, such as Jo Swinson, Boris Johnson, and Nigel Farage, showed a markedly lower rate of anti-Semitic sympathy at just 18 per cent, 21 per cent and 24 per cent respectively.   
>  
> ‘**The leader of the once fiercely anti-racist Labour party is now the candidate of choice for anti-Jewish racists,’** Gideon Falter, the Chief Executive of Campaign Against Antisemitism, wrote in a foreword of a report the poll is included in.   
>  
> As part of their annual anti-Semitism barometer, the campaign group found that a record amount of British Jews had considered leaving the UK since 2017, with 85 per cent of those listing antisemitism in politics as the reason.   
>  
> Those considering emigrating were overwhelmingly concerned about Mr Corbyn’s effect on British Jews, not Boris Johnson’s.   
>  
> The Sunday Telegraph reported that in an earlier but similar survey, Campaign Against Semitism \[*sic*\] provided 13 statements, 12 of which were anti-Semitic, they said.   
>  
> The results found that those identifying as ‘very left-wing’ were more likely to agree with the statement that ‘Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews’, rhetoric deemed anti-Semitic by a definition set out in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.   
>  
> News of the polling results comes after Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis used a newspaper article on Tuesday to stage an unprecedented intervention in the general election campaign as he said **anti-Semitism in the Labour Party was a ‘poison – sanctioned from the top’.**  
>  
> He also alleged that Labour’s claims it is doing everything possible to tackle anti-Jewish racism in the party was a ‘**mendacious fiction’.**   
>  
> Labour has been repeatedly rocked by allegations of anti-Semitism during Mr Corbyn’s tenure as leader.

Until Labour ditches Corbyn as a leader they are doomed.
