Whether that's cherry picking is another discussion, but calling 2 years of Corbyn's Labour polling a blip is quite disingenuous.
I misunderstood what tbc was saying - I thought he was saying that Starmer's personal approval ratings were better than Corbyn's in 2017, when they were talking about Labour's polling now vs Labour's GE performance in 2017 - but there's no need to call me disingenuous. It is a fact that choosing Corbyn's best and Starmer's worst as your point of comparison is cherry picking the stats. People are very welcome to do that - I do it myself! - but it's quite reasonable to point it out.

tbc specifically said Starmer is below Corbyn after GE2017, which the data you presented agrees with. That's not clear evidence that they are wrong is it?
