Cooper tops Corbyn in focus groups of ex-Labour voters

A joint Newsnight/Ipsos Mori focus group suggests former Labour voters prefer Yvette Cooper to Jeremy Corbyn.

In-depth discussion groups were held with voters aged 30-50 in the swing constituencies of Nuneaton and Croydon on 20 August and 26 August. All had previously voted Labour, but gone with a different party in 2015.

Although small, focus groups often provide very accurate information due to their qualitative nature. Here's a short extract from the discussions.

A longer version will air on Newsnight at 22.30 on BBC Two on Friday 28 August, and afterwards on iPlayer.
