With the ballot papers for the Labour leadership contest, Labour members will be dismayed to see the party’s rating in the polls dipping below the 30% mark once again. This week’s survey sees the Conservatives’ voting intention increase by two points to 40%, whilst Labour’s drops one point to 29%, giving a Conservative lead of 11 points.
Elsewhere, the Liberal Democrats fall one point to 8%, UKIP remain static on 13% and voting intention for other parties drops one point to 10%.

Public opinion on who would be the best Prime Minister hardly budges, with Theresa May down one point to 50% and Jeremy Corbyn remaining on 19%. Slightly more than three in ten (31%) don’t know who would be better, a one point increase.
The public remains in favour of having voted to leave the European Union, with 45% thinking the Brexit result was the right decision vs 43% who think it was wrong and 12% who don't know.
