Our latest Westminster voting intention poll with election experts Electoral Calculus for The Sunday Telegraph finds that a bounce in popularity after Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal has failed to materialise, although they have gained 2% of the predicted vote share. The poll, involving over 1,400 respondents, was carried out from 1st – 3rd of March.

The poll asked GB residents whether and how they intend to vote if there were an imminent general election.

  • Labour lead of 23% over Conservatives
  • Predicted Labour landslide

The headline voting intention is shown in the highlighted bolded column:

LAB334848+15
LIB11119−2
Reform255+3
Green356+4

This gives an estimated Labour lead over the Conservatives of 23%. If there were a general election now, and these figures were right, Labour would win 499 seats in the Commons, and the Conservatives would be reduced to just 69 seats.
