Labour slipped to its worst rating of the UK’s general election campaign, with its lead over Rishi Sunak’s governing Conservatives also hitting a low for the period in Bloomberg’s poll of polls — but leader Keir Starmer nevertheless remains on course to win the keys to 10 Downing Street in Thursday’s vote.
Labour slipped to 40.5% on Tuesday, with the Tories gaining a fraction to 20.1%, according to Bloomberg’s composite, a rolling 14-day average using data from 11 polling companies stretching back to January 2021. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party held at record 16.2%, while the Liberal Democrats are on their campaign high of 11.4%.
