Tories lose half their voters as poll shows surge to Nigel Farage's Brexit party

The Tories are set to lose almost half of their voters as Nigel Farage's Brexit Party surges in popularity, a shock new poll has found.

The ComRes survey, taken in the days following the launch of Farage's new party, suggested just 53% of people who voted Tory in the 2017 election would vote for them again in the next general election.

The wholesale collapse puts Labour some 10 points ahead of the Tories, giving Jeremy Corbyn his biggest ever poll lead.

And a quarter of 2017 Tory voters said they were going to vote for Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party in the next national election.
