Younger voters appear to prefer former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn over Keir Starmer in what has been a humiliating blow to the Prime Minister.
After Corbyn announced a new left-wing party alongside former Labour MP, Zarah Sultana, many voters believed that votes would be taken away from the Labour base.
While confusion remains over the actual name of his party, YouGov polling has shown Corbyn has a positive approval rating of plus 18 among people aged 18 to 24.
However, that is in stark contrast to his minus 39 rating for voters as a whole.
The Prime Minister meanwhile sits at minus 40 and does not have the same kind of support Corbyn has with the younger voting bloc.
It comes as Labour announced that it would give 1.6million 16 and 17-year-olds the vote at the next general election.
The move prompted right-wing backlash, including from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who accused the party of attempting to "rig the political system".
But Starmer's move could be seen to favour former Labour leader Corbyn, who has had 300,000 supporters sign up to the launch of Your Party in the last week alone.

Corbyn's new hard-left party is pro-Gaza, believes in tackling climate change and redistributing wealth around the country.
In a joint statement following the announcement of their new political party, Corbyn and Sultana said: “The system is rigged.
“The system is rigged when 4.5million children live in poverty in the sixth richest country in the world.
“The system is rigged when giant corporations make a fortune from rising bills. The system is rigged when this Government says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war.

“We cannot accept these injustices - and neither should you.
“We will only fix the crises in our society with a mass redistribution of - wealth and power.
“That means taxing the very richest in our society. That means an NHS free from privatisation and bringing energy, water, rail and mail into public ownership.
"That means investing in a massive council-house building programme. That means standing up to fossil fuel giants putting their profits before our planet."
