Tory lead over Labour has fallen – poll

SUPPORT for Labour and the Tories among the public is neck and neck, according to new research.

A poll by market research company Opinium suggested that the Conservatives have lost their seven-point lead from a fortnight ago, while the opposition has gained three points. The survey of more than 2,000 adults in the UK last week also found an increase in approval of Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit response. And 48% of those surveyed believed Theresa May’s Brexit deal was bad – up by 3% from two weeks ago. Opposition to the deal among those who voted for the PM in 2017 has risen from 19% to 24%.
