Britain’s Labor Party’s lead over the Conservatives has fallen by 7 percentage points and is at its lowest point since June 2023, according to a Savanta poll today.

Polls over the past year have put Labor firmly on course for victory in this year’s national election after 14 years of rule by the Conservatives, currently led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

According to the latest poll, which took place between 9 and 11 February, Labor will get 41% of the vote, 5% less than two weeks earlier. Support for the Conservatives rose by two points to 29% over the same period. The results are based on online interviews with 2,224 people.

The last time a Savanta poll put Labor at 41% was in September 2022 and the party’s lead was 12 points last June.

Although Savanta’s director of political research Chris Hopkins cautioned that this was just one poll, he added that it showed some voters had reservations about the Labor Party.

“This poll, however, serves as a reminder that Labour’s lead – while consistently high for many months – is not absolute,” he said.

“Voters have yet to make up their minds about Keir Starmer’s Labor Party and doubts may return.”
