UK polls: Conservatives lead over Labour

The poll conducted by the London-based market research consultancy Savanta ComRes between December 2-3 has put the Conservatives on a 42 percent overall down 1 percent on the company's survey from the end of November. It comes a day after a YouGov survey also showed Corbyn was failing to gain any momentum as the campaign was headed to its conclusion.

London:UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his ruling Conservative Party have a 10-point lead over opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party ahead of the December 12 general election, according to a new poll.

The poll conducted by the London-based market research consultancy Savanta ComRes between December 2-3 has put the Conservatives on a 42 percent overall down 1 percent on the company's survey from the end of November.

Labour Party which is yet to lead in any poll published during the election campaign has a total support rating of 32 percent, the survey released on Thursday said.

Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats, Brexit Party, and the Greens were down by one point each at 12 percent, 3 percent, and 2 percent respectively.

The Savanta ComRes poll comes a day after a YouGov survey also showed Corbyn was failing to gain any momentum as the campaign was headed to its conclusion.

The Electoral Calculus website has suggested that if the numbers recorded in the Savanta ComRes survey were replicated on polling day, the Conservatives would win a majority of 32.

It suggested that the Tories would win 341 seats while Labour would end up with 227, the Liberal Democrats would get 15 and the Brexit Party would finish with zero.
