If the LibDems stopped turning up their noses at those irritating working class people and made an effort to welcome them, then yes - Labour could drop below 20%.

Otherwise the natural floor is somewhere around 20-25%. And Labour is certainly heading in that direction.

Does it matter? I have heard that Blair got in his last election only 25%, but as there are so many competing parties, one can get already for ~30% the MP.

It matters when Labour is bleeding votes to the Tories who are now polling above 40%.
