The Labour Party is gaining ground on Theresa May's Conservatives as the British election draws near, according to two separate polls published Thursday.

According to YouGov, the Tories' projected share of the vote fell from 49 percent last week to 45 percent this week, while Labour's vote share increased from 31 to 32 percent.

An Ipsos Mori poll for the Evening Standard showed that 34 percent of Brits intend to vote for Labour in the June 8 ballot, up from 26 percent last week. The Tories were unchanged at 49 percent.

The Ipsos Mori poll makes bad reading for the Liberal Democrats, with support slipping from 13 percent in April to 7 percent in May. The Greens were on 3 percent and UKIP on 2 percent.
