With Labour and the Conservatives set to unveil their election manifestos this week, it’s UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Tories who need to produce a game-changer, with Bloomberg’s poll of polls showing the incumbent party has failed to make a dent on the opposition in 19 days of campaigning so far.
Some 44.6% of voters say they will vote Labour, while the Conservatives are on 22.8%, according to Bloomberg’s composite poll, a rolling 14-day average using data from 11 polling companies. The opposition’s 21.8-point lead is marginally higher than the 21.4-point margin they enjoyed on May 22, when Sunak called the election.
