Labour’s lead over the Conservative Party stands at 14pts, according to the latest voting intention poll from Savanta.
The poll, conducted over the last weekend (2-4 June), sees Labour on 44% of the vote, the same vote share as the week before, and the Conservatives on 30%, down one point.
The Liberal Democrats have a two point increase, reaching 11% of the vote share. This represents the first double-figure Liberal Democrat vote share in a Savanta poll since early April.
Commenting on the findings, Chris Hopkins, Political Research Director at Savanta said, “A 14pt Labour lead appears fairly standard across the polling industry right now, with the political scene relatively settled; Rishi Sunak appears unable to reduce the Labour lead, but Labour aren’t able to increase it either.”
“Ultimately, though, it leaves Labour in the driving seat ahead of the next election. MRP polling this week implied Labour would be on course for a 140-seat majority, and that seems about fair given where other polls, including Savanta’s, are at.
“Of course, the events of the next 12-18 months will determine whether Keir Starmer can make that a reality, but at the moment it’s all to do for Sunak and the Conservatives.”
