Tories and Labour neck and neck, according to election poll


The Survation poll for Good Morning Britain put the Tories on 41.5% with Labour on 40.4%.
The Conservatives had a 17-point lead with the pollster at the start of May, but Labour’s rise reflected a campaign which more than half of those polled thought had been better than Theresa May’s.
