That may see the Tories 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.

Pollsters discovered nearly four in ten traditional Labor voters would be more likely to vote for the party if they ditched Mr Corbyn.

And around one in four Labor voters asked – 23 per cent – reportedly said they preferred Mr Johnson’s Brexit policy.

The Tories are currently 13 points aheadin Great Grimsby, held by the socialists for more than 70 Years.

Labor’s support has dived by 18 points since 2017 to 31 per cent, with many voters appearing to have switched to the Brexit Party, which is now on (per cent.)

However, the biggest Labor-Tory swing is in the North West, including Manchester and Liverpool, where Labor had a 19 – point lead over the Conservatives in 2017.

That has now been cut to just two points, reveals the poll.

Meanwhile the Conservative Party’s advantage over Labor in the East Midlands has risen from ten points in 2017 to 18 Points.

And, over the same period, Boris Johnson’s party has also cut dramatically Labor’s lead in Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Damian Lyons Lowe, of Survation, said: “The figures suggest that even with the Brexit Party contesting Labor-held seats, Labor is vulnerable in places it has held for decades.

“The effect of the disproportionate fall in Labor support in this poll will vary from seat to seat.

“However, the Tories will be confident of winning all target seats in the North and Midlands where they need a five per cent swing, many of those where up to a 10 per cent swing is required, and possibly others too. “

The news comes after pollsters told how Nigel Farage could keep Mr Johnson in Downing Street by pulling key votes away from Labor.

The Brexit Party supremo revealed he would stand down in 317 areas where the Tories won in 2017, to avoid splitting the vote completely for Leave and allow Labor to get through.

But he refused to go further and step down his candidates in Labor areas as he continues to take the fight to Mr Corbyn ahead of the December 12 general election.

Now, a new stunning poll suggests Labor’s Melanie Onn will lose her Great Grimsby seat to the Conservatives despite a 2, 565 majority.

The Labor vote is down 18 per cent according to a Survation poll for the Economist in an area which voted 71 per cent for Leave in 2016, reports The Mail.

And a nationwide poll by Ipsos Mori today showed Boris Johnson’s party has a 16 – point lead over Labor with three weeks to go to the election .

Support for the Conservatives stood at 44 per cent, up three points from last week’s poll, and that Labor was up four points at (per cent.)

POLL SHOCKER

It came as Mr Corbyn launched Labour’s general election manifesto in Birmingham as his fantasy spending plans were slammed as “not credible” by an economics expert.

The Labor boss plans to pay for his Marxist vision of 1970 s-style re-nationalization by raising £ 82 .9bn with a series of 12 Tax hikes.

But Paul Johnson, director of independent think-tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said it was “simply not credible” for Labor to raise the sum by slapping a tough tax on businesses and Britain’s highest earners. )

He told ITV: “You cannot raise that kind of money in our tax system without affecting individuals.”

Mr Johnson was stunned by Labor’s radical spending plan.

He said: “It’s impossible to overstate just how extraordinary this manifesto in terms of the sheer scale of money being spent and raised through the tax system”.
