The poll found just 31% were satisfied with the way the Labour leader was doing his job against 55% who were dissatisfied - giving him an overall negative satisfaction rating of -24.
That contrasts with Theresa May who enjoyed a positive satisfaction rating of +16, with 48% satisfied and 32% dissatisfied with her performance.
• Ipsos MORI interviewed 1,016 adults aged 18 and over across Great Britain by telephone between October 14 and 17.
