The opposition Conservative Party remains ahead of its rivals in Britain, but has lost ground over the past couple of weeks as support has shifted to two minor parties, a new Angus Reid Strategies poll conducted in cooperation with PoliticalBetting.com has found.
Voting Intention
Across Great Britain, 38 per cent of decided voters and leaners (-2 since mid-October) would cast a ballot for the Conservative candidate in their constituency if a General Election were held tomorrow.
The governing Labour Party remains in second place with 24 per cent (+1), followed by the Liberal Democrats with 20 per cent (unchanged).
The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) is fourth with six per cent (+1), followed by the British National Party (BNP) at four per cent (+1).
Regional Breakdowns
The Conservatives hold the highest level of support in the South of England, where Labour is a distant third behind the Lib-Dems. In Scotland, Labour is ahead of the Scottish National Party (SNP) by five points (32% to 27%).
Other Demographics
The Tories are holding a 12-point lead over Labour among male voters, and a 16-point advantage among female voters. The opposition party remains way ahead among voters aged 55 and over (45%). Labour is now edging the Lib-Dems among voters aged 18 to 34, but the Tories have the largest share of the vote across all age groups.
