I saw a headline a couple of days ago saying that something like two thirds of Labour voters (I can't remember the exact fraction) want a change at the top.
This headline is rather misleading if it's meant to be an exhortation for what's needed, as these are generally people who voted Labour in the last General Election, and lost. It's a symptom of the civil war that's still raging within the left over Jeremy Corbyn.
What should be polled is those ex Labour voters who defected to the LibDems, Greens and even the Tories, and to ascertain what they want in order to bring them back into the fold, because that's the cohort that counts - if Labour wants to win an election. What they want may not be the same as those who remained loyal and yet aren't sufficient in number.
