In the same way that the value of your house is meaningless until you come to actually sell it, so opinion polls at this stage mean nothing at all.
Experience shows that the electorate have short memories, and tend to look at what is in front of them at the time of an election.
There is no reason to assume that by then, the Tories will not have consigned the recent events to distant history, and in electorate memories that is what they will be.
With Labour willfully insisting on choosing unelectable leaders, I think Boris has nothing to fear.
Sorry Gully, for destroying your fantasy with a couple of simple and acknowledged facts.

AH: "With Labour willfully insisting on choosing unelectable leaders, I think Boris has nothing to fear.
Sorry Gully, for destroying your fantasy with a couple of simple and acknowledged facts." - well we are awash with potential BAs at the moment, bang on Andy, Gully will have to dream on, the search for the 4th Labour leader to win a GE goes on. In the mean time we have at least another term for Boris to enjoy, possibly two.

I think modern elections are as much about the party as a whole, and about policies, as much as the leader.
Given that, as you acknowledge, Keir Starmer is not setting the bar particularly high, it is the rest of the people who come with him that will also put people off.
With no coherent policies to tempt the voters, Labour seem content to complain about whatever the Tories do, while offering nothing in terms of an alternative.
That shows no sign of changing.
Ironically, Johnson swept in on a tide of revulsion at the nonsense that was Jeremy Corbyn, as an individual and as a leader, he can still drift in on a tide of indifference to Keir Starmer, but it doesn't matter how you get in, it's getting in that counts.
