The UK Labor Party has made the biggest gains since the late 1990s in a poll of voter intent, 33 points ahead of the Conservative Party, which has plummeted in popularity amid the crisis caused by Liz Terrace’s tax measures. .

According to a study by YouGov for The Times, Labor received 54% of the vote (+9 points) compared to 21% of the Conservatives (-7 points).

This, according to The Times and the Polling Institute, is the biggest progress the party has recorded since the late 1990s.

YouGov attributed the progress, in part, to the fact that 17 percent of those who voted for the Conservative Party in the 2019 election won by Boris Johnson plan to vote for the Labor Party.

Labor’s leadership is also linked to a swinging 26 percent of Conservative voters and a decline in intentions to vote for the Liberal Democrats.

This study was conducted on a sample of 1,712 adults on September 28 and 29, following the announcement of massive tax cuts that brought the UK to the brink of a financial crisis.

In two other polls, Labor leads the Conservatives by 19 points (Deltapool) and 21 points (Survation).

The UK Labor Party has led the opposition since Gordon Brown, Tony Blair’s successor as party leader, failed to win a majority in the 2010 general election.

Keir Starmer, who took over the party two years ago, is taking a much more moderate approach than his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
