Labour Narrows Conservative Lead Ahead Of Thursday By-Election: Poll

UK

Latest poll from SavantaComRes shows the opposition centre-left Labour party narrowing the lead of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's centre-right Conservative party with the closely-watched parliamentary by-election in the Batley and Spen constituency looming on Thursday.

  • Westminster voting intention: CON: 42% (-2), LAB: 33% (+3), LDEM: 9% (-1), GRN: 5% (-). via @SavantaComRes, 25 - 27 Jun. Chgs. w/ 20 Jun
  • The by-election is being viewed as another key bellwether of Labour's support in its historical heartlands in northern England. Should Labour hold onto the seat it would provide some much-needed stability to the wavering leadership of party head Sir Keir Starmer, who has come in for criticism from the left of his party over the efficacy of his opposition to the gov't.
  • However, if Labour can hold the seat it would put a dent in PM Johnson's efforts to continue the realignment of English politics along identity/cultural lines (social conservative/social liberal) rather than the historic division along class or income lines (fiscally left/fiscally right).
