Recent data and polls indicate that the UK Labour Party needs to win over older, richer, and more likely to be White voters to regain power after 14 years in opposition. Sir Keir Starmer is leading in polls as the 'most capable Prime Minister' over Rishi Sunak. The Conservatives are lagging in every cohort below 65, and Rishi Sunak expresses confidence in winning the next election, citing that Britain has 'turned a corner.' The demographics of key voters Labour needs to win over in 125 battleground seats include older, more homeowners, more rural, and more affluent individuals.
