Support for Tories falls to its lowest in six years - but pro-Brexit parties see a surge in voters

Daily Mail  

Support for the Conservative Party has sunk to its lowest level in six years - as pro-Brexit parties are seeing a surge in popularity, a new poll has revealed. The Tories would only win 28 per cent of the vote if a general election were held tomorrow, with Labour earning 32 per cent of votes, according to a YouGov poll for The Times. UKIP would take 6 per cent and Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party would win 8 per cent of the vote, the poll claimed, making the combined weight of the staunchly pro-Leave parties the third largest political force in the country. The Tories would only win 28 per cent of the vote if a general election were held tomorrow, with Labour earning 32 per cent of votes Only two thirds of Conservative voters from the 2017 general election said they would support the party again, and a little more than one third said they would vote for the Tories in European elections. As many as 56 per cent of people who voted to leave the EU in 2016 say they would vote for Ukip or the Brexit Party, with only 18 per cent saying they would back the Conservatives But Work and Pensions Secretary Miss Rudd has said she cannot support Mr Johnson while he keeps the door open to a No Deal Brexit, according to reports.
