Latest UK tracker for General Election 2024 polls

With the July general election just around the corner, the race for power in the UK is heating up. Labour has maintained a comfortable lead in the polls, with the gap showing no signs of closing. The major parties have released their manifestos, outlining their plans for the country.

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has seen a surge in popularity, with some polls even placing them ahead of the Conservatives. The Tories have pledged to abolish National Insurance and introduce a legal cap on migration, while the Liberal Democrats have committed to reaching Net Zero by 2045.

A recent poll suggests that almost half of the public’s impression of Rishi Sunak has worsened during the campaign, with his decision to leave a D-Day ceremony early seen as a major gaffe. Labour is perceived to have run a more positive campaign, according to the survey.

The Telegraph’s reader survey shows a resurgence of support for the Conservatives, with readers backing the party at its highest level since the start of the campaign. However, Reform had surpassed the Tories in popularity among middle-aged voters before dwindling in support.

Labour leads among the under-50s, while the Greens perform well with the under-25s. The Conservatives only beat Labour among the elderly, but even this support is waning. In Scotland, Labour now beats the SNP in the polls, with hopes for a return to form in the country.

The Conservatives are facing challenges in their political heartlands in the south of England, where Labour has taken the lead. Brexit continues to influence voter preferences, with Leave voters fleeing from the Tories and Remain voters overwhelmingly supporting Labour.

As the election approaches, the Red Wall and Blue Wall constituencies are key battlegrounds. The Conservatives are facing challenges in both historically Labour-supporting and Tory-supporting areas. Polling suggests a three-horse race between the Conservatives, Labour, and the Lib Dems, which could benefit the Tories if votes are split between the opposition parties.
