    Today's yougov poll

    One polled over the past couple of days using their conventional method rather than the one predicting a hung parliament, puts the Tory lead over Labour down to 3 points

    CON: 42% (-1)
    LAB: 39% (+3)
    LDEM: 7% (-2)
    UKIP: 4% (-)

    https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/05/31...our-39-30-31-/

    Polled after the Paxman interview, but before tonight's TV debate - I can only imagine May's no-show at the TV debate will bring that in a bit further.

    Of course, this could be Yougov bluster, but chances are the 'huge majority' was always overstated. I still expect a Tory win, but no landslide. It is looking like May's gamble will not pay off.

    Ladbrokes still have a Tory 'most seats' at 1/12 and a Tory majority at 1/5.

    That's like £10k down the drain kind of poll...

        So will May survive even if the Tories win?

        If they get a reduced majority, the knives will be out.

        Boris ?

          A slim Tory majority is the best outcome, a landslide would turn the Tories into UKIP on steroids, a Corbyn win would turn the UK into a basket case, checks and balances... effective government, effective opposition.

            No deity, No.

              In reality, the Tory share of the vote has held remarkably stable, the recent labour climb hasn't been at the expense of a corresponding Tory drop but rather a corresponding UKIP, Lib Dem and 'Other' drop.

              I don't hold much weight in the 'shy Tory voter' this time around - is someone really going to prefer to say 'I vote Corbyn' before 'I vote May'? Nah.

              However, a drastic swing to Labour in the 5 weeks since the local elections will only be devastating to May's leadership. She has been found out - she refuses to engage with the public and that looks like it is becoming a problem right when it matters.

                I am personally hoping for a hung Parliament.

                Seems like a possibility at least.

                  Just filled in my postal vote.

                  After a great deal of consideration, I have voted Labour.
