This puts Labour on 36%, the Conservatives on 29% and the Liberal Democrats on 18%. Sky Election Analyst Michael Thrasher has calculated the national vote share had these elections been held across the country.

However, they also tend to underperform their polling in local elections, by about six points on average. Labour has maintained roughly a 15-point lead in the polls since Rishi Sunak became prime minister. What remains to be seen is whether Labour are doing enough to look like a government-in-waiting.Īre Labour doing enough to be general election frontrunners? There's still a way to go, but on results so far it looks like the Conservatives are performing about as poorly as pre-election expectations got to. Tories have lost a third of their council seats so far - a 'hammering' by any standard.The remainder of the Conservative seat losses split between the Lib Dems and the Greens.

The Conservatives have lost more than 1,000 seats, while Labour have made more than 500 gains. Labour has seen its vote increase across the country, but with the largest rises in the north and midlands.
