When these results are broken down, support for a new government was highest in Scotland at 72 per cent, almost 10 per cent above average.

A change of government was the most popular option across all demographi­cs assessed, including age, gender, ethnicity, religion and income level. This includes those groups traditiona­lly more supportive of the Tories, such as over 65s and those in the top income bracket.

The findings come as the Prime Minister faces near open rebellion from within his own party over his leadership. Mr Sunak has lost a series of damaging by-elections, and two of his own MPS are demanding he stand down.

The polling suggests voters hope Rishi Sunak will be saying goodbye to Downing Street ain’s constituen­cy-level polling showed that the Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer is the most popular choice for Prime Minister in 390 seats, including Mr Sunak’s own North Yorkshire constituen­cy of Richmond. The Prime Minister was only the most popular candidate in four out of 632 seats in Britain.

Further analysis of this new poll shows that of those who say they “don’t know” how they will vote, 56 per cent think it’s time for a change of government, suggesting that two million voters who want change still don’t know how to vote to do it.

Best for Britain is now pushing a tactical voting website getvoting.org, which tells readers who is best placed to beat Conservati­ve candidates.

Naomi Smith, founder of the tactical voting website and chief executive of Best for Britain, said: “It is now painfully obvious that after 14 years of failure, chaos and scandal, that time could soon be up for this government, but this polling shows that millions who want change still don’t know how they should vote to get it.

“That is why we will ensure that people have the informatio­n they need to make their vote count and finally rid us of this hopeless Government.”

Broadcaste­r and author, Carol Vorderman said: “Time and again, members of this government have demonstrat­ed they are more interested in themselves than the country. We are desperate to get rid of them while they cling on.

“Without Proportion­al Representa­tion, tactical voting has already gone mainstream. The longer Sunak leaves it until the election, the more Tories will lose their seats.”
