The Labour Party has extended its lead over the Conservatives, according to the first exclusive YouGov poll of the UK election campaign for Sky News.
One week into the race for Number 10, Labour is 27 points ahead of the Tories – erasing a small drop in the lead recorded at the end of last week.
The Great Britain poll—conducted on Monday and Tuesday this week—puts Labour at 47%, the Tories at 20%, Reform at 12%, the Liberal Democrats at 9%, and the Greens at 7%.
Sky News said this suggests that the Tories have not yet reacted to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s surprise decision to visit the country on July 4 rather than wait until the autumn.
