Popularity is a poor measure of performance in UK politics. The British public are regularly shown to be fickle and easily led in their judgements.
Results are a bit meh so far with Labour but at least they're not Trussesque dangerous. And positive achievements rarely get a mention in our press. Can't think why.

This is anecdotal I know, but I have not met anyone who supports Starmer. Not one. I knew Thatcherites and folk who thought Blair and Brown were okay.
He got in because people were sick of the last lot. Jeremy Corbyn got more votes overall as well.
