Just 13 per cent of British Jews plan to vote for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party next week, an exclusive JC poll has revealed.

Theresa May’s Conservatives have the support of 77 per cent of Jewish voters. Below is a break-down of the entire survey.

When asked how likely they are to vote, 83.1 per cent of respondents said they would definitely vote, while 3.6 per cent said they would definitely abstain.

After removing those who said they were undecided - 7.6 per cent of respondents - and those who did not respond, 77 per cent of those polled said they are going to vote Conservative, while 13.4 per cent said they would vote Labour. The questions specifically asked how voters would cast their ballots in their own constituencies, rather than nationally.

Of those who will vote, 322 will vote Tory, while 56 will vote Labour, and 31 Liberal Democrat. Ten will vote for another party.

And 17.2 per cent of respondents said if Jeremy Corbyn was not leader of the Labour Party, they would be "much more likely" to vote for his party. Slightly less than half of those polled said they would be at least "a little more likely" to vote Labour if he was not leader.
