Adam McDonnell of YouGov said, “Both the Conservatives and Labour look set to lose a majority of those who voted for them in the 2017 general election.
“Only one in five (20%) of those who voted Conservative just under two years ago are sticking with the party for next week’s European Parliament vote, with 62% instead planning to back the Brexit Party.
“Labour is also losing a large proportion of their voters, mainly to Remain parties (Lib Dem 21%, Green 16%, Change UK 6%).”
YouGov surveyed 7,192 adults in the UK between 12 May and 16 May.
