The Labour Party’s five-week long lead of C+D’s election sentiment tracker could be under threat - but not by the ruling Conservative Party, as revealed by the fifth edition of our LinkedIn poll, which ran from June 24 to June 27.

With less than a week to go before the July 4 general election, 33% of the 242 respondents to the survey said they would choose “other” political parties, up by eight percentage points to its highest ever level from 25% last week.

This placed support for parties like the Liberal Democrats, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru and Reform just three percentage points behind Labour, which remained at the top with 36% of the vote.

Last week’s election tracker results revealed the way in which support is split among “other” party supporters, with the Lib Dems supported by 31% of C+D readers, the Greens by 29%, Reform by 28% and the SNP/Plaid Cymru receiving 12% of “other” support.

Meanwhile, C+D’s prognosis of a rally by the Tories last week was disproved as we witnessed another phase of the governing party’s stunning crash in support among our readers.

The incumbent party was chosen by just 10% of C+D readers in the week five poll. A reminder: in 2015, less than ten years ago, the Conservative Party was the party favoured by 45% of C+D’s readers.

But the undecided voters may still play a part in deciding the composition of the next parliament. This week, as last week, 21% of C+D readers still did not know who would get their vote next week.
