Two polls published today are bad news for Rishi Sunak: one shows a four-point drop and the other that his party is on course to win just 72 seats.
A Savanta poll for The Daily Telegraph showed the Conservatives have lost four points to just 21% of the vote, that pollster’s lowest level since the final days of Theresa May’s presidency in 2019.
In a boost for Nigel Farage, the poll showed Reform UK up three points with 13% of the vote.

A separate Survation poll for Best for Britain, published by The Times, predicted the Conservatives would win just 72 seats in the next parliament, compared to 456 for Labour.
This comes after a YouGov poll on Thursday night put Nigel Farage’s party on 19% of the vote, compared to 18% for the Conservatives.
This development led Mr Farage to declare Reform the “opposition to the Labor Party” ahead of the election.
