Latest Poll Tracker: What the Numbers Say

The latest polls are showing a significant shift in voter sentiment as the Conservatives have dropped to their lowest share since the last general election in 2019. According to senior political analyst Peter Barnes, the Conservatives are now at 20% on average, while Labour maintains a lead of about 20 points despite a slight decrease in their average score.

Interestingly, the polls indicate a close battle between the Conservatives and Reform UK for second place, with some polling companies even putting the two parties neck and neck. This development comes as a surprise with less than two weeks to go until polling day.

On the other hand, the Liberal Democrats have seen a slight improvement in their standing since Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the election. The Greens, SNP, and Plaid Cymru have remained relatively stable throughout the campaign.

It is important to note that all polls have a margin of error, and the true support for each party may vary within the ranges shown in the poll tracker. The polling companies included in the tracker follow the rules set by the British Polling Council, but differences in methodology and weighting can lead to varying results.

As the election draws closer, the dynamics of the race continue to evolve, making it crucial for voters to stay informed and engaged with the latest polling data.
