Conservatives face election wipeout with Labour set to gain a 416 majority that could see Rishi Sunak LOSING his seat and the Tories being left with just 39 MPs, shock Mail on Sunday poll reveals
Work is heading for a 416 majority in an election result that could prove catastrophic for the Tory party, according to a new Mail on Sunday poll.
The Deltapoll survey shows Sir Keir Starmer‘s side a lead of 25 points, which would reduce the lead Conservatives to a liberal-democratic rump of 37 seats.
Even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would lose his Yorkshire seat despite defending a majority of more than 27,000.
The polling firm is careful to note that the projection is based on a rough, uniform swing and should be treated with caution.
Nevertheless, the poll, partly conducted in the wake of the furore over Rishi Sunak’s early return from D-Day commemorations, highlights the scale of Sunak’s task in the run-up to the July 4 vote.
The Deltapoll survey gives Sir Keir Starmer’s party a 25-point lead, which would reduce the Conservatives to a Liberal Democrat deficit of 37 seats.
The poll puts Labor at 46 percent and the Conservatives at 21 percent, the lowest score in this Parliament. Nigel Farage’s reform is at 12 percent.
Despite Labour’s colossal lead, there appears to be some skepticism about Starmer.
Asked about the Labor leader’s insistence during last Tuesday’s leaders’ debate that he would not support the use of private healthcare for family members who need it, only 13 percent of respondents agreed.
And a total of 59 percent say they are ‘concerned’ about the prospect of the Labor Party raising taxes by £2,000 per household – a controversial claim made by Sunak during the debate.
Furthermore, 41 percent believe Labor will work to undo Brexit if they come to power; 25 percent disagree.
But only one in five – 22 per cent – think Sunak should strike a deal with Nigel Farage to save the Conservatives.
Even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would lose his seat in Yorkshire, despite defending a majority of more than 27,000 votes.
Joe Twyman, co-founder and director of Deltapoll, said: ‘After a difficult few days for Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party, the Deltapoll results for today’s Mail on Sunday will make for grim reading as party support for them reaches an all-time low. Parliament.
The launch of the party manifestos next week will be a crucial moment. If that launch doesn’t bring about a rapid and lasting turnaround in the fortunes of Rishi Sunak in particular and the Conservatives in general, it’s hard to see what can.”
Deltapoll interviewed 2,010 British adults online between June 6 and 8, 2024. The data has been weighted to be representative of the UK adult population as a whole.
