Labour Surge Ahead Of Conservatives In Latest YouGov Poll

UK

Latest Times/YouGov opinion poll shows a decline in support for PM Boris Johnson's Conservative party and a sharp rise in support for the centre-left Labour party.

  • LAB: 41% (+4), CON: 37% (-2), LDEM: 6% (+1), GRN: 4% (-2), REFUK: 3% (-1). Chgs w/ 22 Jan.
  • Decline in support for the Conservatives comes despite continued success in UK rollout of the vaccine, but does come at a time when the UK crossed the tragic 100k COVID-19 related deaths mark.
  • Of course one poll does not mean anything in isolation, but if this trend is maintained over the coming weeks it could spell trouble for Johnson ahead of May local elections. Conservatives had been hoping fast vaccination would boost party's prospects, but not turning out that way so far.
