A new poll shows the Tories have narrowed Labour’s lead in the election as Rishi Sunak said the outcome on July 4 is not a “foregone conclusion”.
The new survey from Savanta for the Telegraph on voter intention shows the Conservatives have closed their gap behind Labour to 15 points, the smallest lead for Sir Keir Starmer’s party by this pollster for a month.
Multiple opinion polls have suggested the Labour party is on course for a huge majority in Parliament following the election.
The Conservatives have dubbed this an unaccountable “supermajority”, in a bid to dissuade voters who would usually back them from switching to rival political parties.
