The Tories and Labour are almost neck and neck just two days before the general election in a stunning new poll.

Survation research claims the Conservative lead has been slashed by 16 points in a month.

The poll for Good Morning Britain put the Tories on 41.5% with Labour on 40.4%, a gap of just 1.2 points.

The Conservatives had a 17-point lead with the pollster at the start of May.

But more than half of those polled (52%) thought Jeremy Corbyn had a better campaign than Theresa May, regardless of their intention to vote.

Just 27% said Mrs May had the best campaign after she was forced to U-turn over her disastrous dementia tax .

Survation polled 1,103 UK residents aged 18 and over by telephone on June 2 and 3. Data was weighted to be representative of all UK adults.

The latest poll put the Liberal Democrats on 6% and Ukip on 3%.

Half of those surveyed thought Mrs May would make a better prime minister than Jeremy Corbyn , but his personal credibility has increased 15 points to 36% since the first Survation/GMB poll on May 5-6.

Mrs May's rating has dropped 10 points over the same period.

Some 51% of respondents thought Labour has had the best campaign - including 30% of Tory voters - while just 23% thought Mrs May's party had performed better.

Meanwhile, YouGov’s latest projection yesterday put the Tories on 305 seats, down from 330 in 2015, while Labour were on course to hit 268, up from 229.

The projection would leave the Tories 21 seats short of a majority at the general election.

But there was less good news for Labour in a ComRes poll of people who voted UKIP in 2015.

It found nearly half - 48% - are now planning to vote Tory, compared to just 23% who will vote UKIP this time and just 11% switching to Labour.
