Jeremy Corbyn is heading for a rout in June’s General Election as he lags 19 points behind Theresa May

JEREMY Corbyn is facing a general election rout, an exclusive poll reveals today.

A week of campaigning has helped the Labour leader make some headway – but he still lags 19 points behind Theresa May.

The Tories also have an 11-point lead in key Labour-held marginals, according to an ICM poll for The Sun on Sunday.

It points to a landslide victory for May, who would be returned as PM with a 142-seat majority.

Our poll, taken at the end of the first week of electioneering, puts the Conservatives on 47 per cent, with Labour on 28, Lib Dems at nine, Ukip on eight, SNP and Greens on four each.

ICM boss Martin Boon said: “As the frenzy associated with the election call dies away, people have begun to focus on the main themes.

“But the Conservative lead has dipped to only 19 points, two lower than produced by our poll earlier last week.

“Labour have emerged with the possibility of a mere rout rather than electoral oblivion.”

Experts calculate the Tories will be returned with 400 seats of their own, with Labour capturing only 171.

Corbyn is on track for a bitter first taste of defeat on Thursday when he is expected to lose 150 council seats in the party’s worst local election drubbing for 35 years.

He has said he hoped this week would prove a “turning point” for his leadership – but MPs fear it will deepen the gloom ahead of the General Election on June 8.
