Latest polling figures show Tories neck and neck with Lib Dems and Greens among under 25s

Younger voters are abandoning the Tories

Tory ballot woes are nothing new. Certainly, the most recent ballot from Omnisis (beneath the brand new banner of WeThink) seems to be just like the headline figures we’ve seen a lot of in current months. In accordance with the ballot, Labour has a 21 level lead over the Tories. Keir Starmer’s get together is sat on 47 per cent, with Rishi Sunak’s on 26 per cent.

One other day, one other unhealthy ballot for the Tories? What’s new? Effectively, under the road the figures make even grimmer studying for Sunak.

Labour leads in all age teams except for the over 75s. And for voters beneath 35, the Labour lead is astronomical. Amongst 25-34 yr olds, Labour has a 38 level lead, with solely 16 per cent of this age bracket saying they plan to vote Tory.

The figures for beneath 25s are much more stark. In accordance with Omnisis’ ballot, an enormous 55 per cent of 18-24 yr olds intend to vote Labour. In the meantime, a tiny 11 per cent of beneath 25s say they’d vote Tory.

To place the dimensions of dissatisfaction with the Tories amongst youthful voters into perspective, the Omnisis figures have Sunak’s get together polling at the same stage to the smaller events – one share level behind the Liberal Democrats and only one level forward of the Inexperienced Social gathering.

None of this bodes effectively for the electoral way forward for the Tory get together…
