When those who say they do not know how they would vote in a General Election are included, the Labour Party leads by 13%. After weighting by likelihood to vote, 11% of the sample say they do not know how they would vote, including 14% of those who voted Conservative in December 2019 and 3% of those who voted Labour. 

Altogether, 86% of those who voted Labour in the last General Election say they would vote Labour again, while 57% of those who voted Conservative in 2019 say they would vote Conservative again.

60% of British voters cite the economy as one of the three most important issues that would determine how they would vote in a General Election, ahead of healthcare (57%). Respondents also select immigration (28%) and education (26%).

31% of respondents believe a Labour Party majority would be the most likely outcome if a General Election were held in the next six months. A further 15% expect a Labour-led minority Government. 18% expect a Conservative Party majority, while another 11% expect a Conservative-led minority Government.
