It doesn't look as if Labour's lead is softening

A recent poll showed a slight gain for the Tories and a slight loss for Labour: probably too small to worry about.

I belong to Opinium, but never seen the results. Sometimes I put in Reform to send a message to the Conservative Party. It doesn’t mean I will vote for them though. I’ll make up my mind nearer to the day.

Labour intends to take us closer to the EU, Ug. Can you live with that?

I think we need a GE sooner rather than later. All we are doing is treading water at present. Labour will win. Maybe it’s time for a change. I’m beginning to think things surely couldn’t be much worse.

Yes but do the opinion polls take this into account? Wwm2

They are weighted polls which take demographics and often also voting history into account. They are population samples though, not constituency specific polls. The slight bias towards Tory seats in the new constituencies is unlikely to make any difference to polls therefore.

" Health/NHS is top for 64% with Economy second with 42%!" This adds up to 106% ! I assume that those taking part could list more than one thing to be most concerned about, and didn't have to choose just one?

I don't have much faith in polls and I know there are still staunch Tory voters who keep a low profile but will vote to keep Labour out.
This is worrying.

I don’t know

They favour the Tories

I wonder what impact the newly redrawn constituency boundaries will have? Also it could be a long wait until the actual election… need to pace yourself!

Early days!

Never count your chickens.

The most important thing is to vote

Thank you Casdon - that has my name all over it.
