Is Corbyn personally disliked? Or was it the policies of Labour?

I find it so hard to fathom how anyone could be considered worse than Boris J.

Corbyn was personally VERY unpopular (favorability was -40). Labour refused to take a position on the critical issue of the campaign (Brexit) and advocated radical policies like abolishing private schools and nationalizing key industries.

Corbyn is not liked. People voted for Brexit, and the stay sides have been sabotaging it even though they are the minority. This election was meant to break that deadlock of obstruction.
