The poll puts support for the Tories at its highest since 2017 and the lead they have over Labor is down to support from Leavers , three quarters of whom now back the Conservatives.
It shows an even bigger lead than the one shown by an Ipsos Mori poll which had Boris Johnson’s party with a 16 – point lead over Labor with three weeks to go to the election.
The new Opinium numbers come after an earlier poll showed Labor voters in the party’s heartlands are revolting againstJeremy Corbyn’s dithering stance on Brexit.
LEAVERS FLOCK TO TORIES
That survey showed the Tories are now on course to win around 30 seats in the North and the Midlands thanks toa swing against their main rivalssince the last election two years ago.
Tories could win key seats including Bishop Auckland, Great Grimsby, Stoke-on-Trent North and Workington – all in areas which voted to leave the EU.
The news is revealed in a Survation poll –commissioned by the Daily Mail– carried out after Mr Corbyn unveiled his controversial £ 83 billion manifesto.
However, the survey was carried out beforehe vowed to stay NEUTRALin any Brexit referendum during a grilling on a the Question Time election special last night.
