Corbyn “very proud” of Labour’s campaign as yet another “final poll” emerges

Theresa May is on course for a majority victory tonight, according to the last opinion poll of the campaign.

After weeks of conflicting surveys, the Tories emerged with an eight point lead over Labour.

May’s party is on 44 per cent and Jeremy Corbyn’s opposition is on 36 per cent, the Ipsos MORI poll for the Evening Standard said.

Corbyn voted this morning in Holloway in his Islington North constituency and gave a thumbs-up to reporters, saying: “Thank you very much all of you for coming here today. It is a day of our democracy. I have just voted and am very proud of our campaign.”

The poll also showed that a fifth of voters (19 per cent) might change their vote before the election.

“The Conservatives had a wobble last week, but have regained a clear lead in the last few days,” said Gideon Skinner, head of political research at Ipsos MORI.

“Theresa May’s advantage over Jeremy Corbyn is also lower than it was at the start of the campaign, but she and her party have kept their support among key voting groups such as older people. Having said that, one in five voters say they might still change their mind, so there are still votes to fight for.”
