Support for Theresa May's ruling Conservatives was at 50 percent in a Comres poll published on Saturday, putting the prime minister on course for a landslide election victory on June 8.

The main opposition Labour party was unchanged on 25 percent.

The poll for the Sunday Mirror newspaper of 2,074 people surveyed on April 19 and 20 put the Conservatives' vote share up 4 percentage points from last week and was the highest for the party in a Comres poll since 1991.

Another survey, this one for the Sunday Express, also revealed as many as one in seven Labour voters were planning to switch from red to blue on June 8.

Leadership and Brexit were said to be the main reasons for the mass defection giving an even further boost to the PM’s campaign.

Meanwhile in Scotland:

Quote:
NICOLA Sturgeon has reacted to a shock poll predicting Theresa May will take a dozen seats off her in Scotland by claiming the election is a “two horse race” between the SNP and the Tories.

The First Minister is going on the attack as she tries to hold on to her party’s seats on June 8 in the face of surging support for the Conservatives north of the border.

She won't be able to play games with a sharply reduced number of SNP MPs.:)

Anyone who thought the tories would't do well in an election at this time is living in a dreamworld.

May was 100% correct calling it at this time.

How they do north of the border remains to be seen and may well frighten their beloved Nicola.

Aww bless, Tim Farron getting rather upset tonight, with repeated questions about his personal views on whether he considers gay sex being a sin, as per his strong faith.

Apparently, nothing wrong with being in a gay relationship, but as long as it does not extend to sexual activity.

I am sorry, everyone is entitled to their own views, but you cannot be associated with a party labelled, 'Liberal', let alone lead it, when personal views are anything but. What a bloody farce.

Well, I'm not a Farron fan of course but I think everyone is entitled to personal views. Is it 'Liberal' to condone buggery as a practise if that conflicts with your personal views?

It's a bit like standing as a Conservative but personally disagreeing with the free market economy.

Since he's the labour leader it's of some small relevance ;)

Funniy enough, that 's what the Conservative Party is being accused of with regard to energy price-capping.

Ha ha good point! Someone has to take a stand on us all being stuffed up the arse. Which brings us back to Mr Farron...:D

This is the 'One Nation' British Conservative party; not the Freedom caucus of the US Republican party! Nothing wrong with state intervention :)

Why doesn't the poll have the option of 'I have no idea who to vote for'?

i think it's assumed that if you have no idea or clue you would vote liberal with the rest of them :)
