LONDON: Opinion polls have shown that Prime Minister Theresa May’s lead over the opposition Labour Party has ebbed over the last three weeks, with some even putting her majority in doubt. Below are the results of recent polls ahead of today’s UK general election.
• A Survation poll showed late on Monday that the lead of May’s Conservative Party over Labour stood at just one point. The poll was conducted on Friday and Saturday, before an attack in London by extremist militants that killed at least eight people and injured 48.
• An Opinium poll on Tuesday showed that May was set to boost her majority, finding that the Conservatives had widened their lead over Labour to 7 points. The new poll was the first by a major firm that was conducted in its entirety after the deadly London attack.
• A Panelbase poll on Thursday last week showed May’s lead almost halved to eight points, compared with 15 points a week earlier.
• A Kantar poll last Wednesday showed May’s Conservatives had extended their lead to 10 points over Labour, up from eight in the previous week
• ComRes polls are among those showing the biggest lead for May. The latest poll, published on Saturday, showed she had a 12-point advantage over Labour, unchanged from a week earlier.
• A model-based projection from YouGov on Tuesday showed May was on track to win 304 seats in Britain’s Parliament in an election on Thursday, 22 seats short of a 326-seat majority.
• An ICM/Guardian poll published on Monday showed May’s lead edged down to 11 points, down one point from the previous week.
• The last Ipsos MORI published on June 2 showed the Conservatives’ lead contracted to five points, compared with 15 points two weeks previously.
