UK opinion polls tracker: Tories on course to win with their biggest majority since Thatcher
The Tories are on course to win the general election with a comfortable majority, polls suggest with just three days to go until voting takes place.
Boris Johnson's Conservative Party has maintained a 10-point lead over its nearest rivals, according to an average of opinion surveys from the last seven days.
The poll of polls, compiled by the Press Association, puts the Tories on 43 per cent, Labour on 33 and the Lib Dems lagging behind on 13.
This marks more than a week of the Tories enjoying a strong average lead of 10, with the Brexit Party and the Greens still tied down at three per cent.
If these polls are to be believed, the Tories will win close to 350 seats in Thursday’s vote.
The 40-50 seat majority these figures imply would grow the Conservatives into their biggest parliamentary party since 1987 when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, according to election expert Sir John Curtis.
It comes as Mr Johnson embarks on tour of marginal seats in Labour’s northern heartlands, in a bid to convince Leave voters that Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit position is akin to a “great betrayal”.
The Prime Minister will spend the three days before polls open targeting voters in traditional Labour strongholds, which his party views as key to securing a Conservative majority
