Tories more popular among working class than rich, new general election poll shows



The Conservative Party now has more support among working-class voters
than the upper classes, according to a new poll which predicts that Boris
Johnson will win a 110-seat majority at the general election.


The exclusive Savanta ComRes survey for The Daily Telegraph found that 43
per cent of voters from the DE social group are prepared to vote for the
Tories on December 12, up from 35 per cent in 2017. The poll found 40 per
cent of AB voters plan to back Mr Johnson compared to 46 per cent who were
prepared to vote for Theresa May two years ago.


As champions of free-market capitalism, the Conservatives have always
traditionally been seen as the party of the rich. However, since the UK voted
to leave the European Union in 2016, the largely Remain voting so-called
metropolitan liberal elite have pivoted to the Liberal Democrats. Conversely,
working-class Leave voters are increasingly backing the Prime Minister’s
promise to ‘get Brexit do


Asked if Jeremy Corbyn’s failure to tackle anti-Semitism within his own
party shows he is unfit to be Prime Minister, 55 per cent agreed and 21 per
cent disagreed.


The British public appears to be more confident in Mr Johnson keeping control
of Britain’s borders than Mr Corbyn, with 42 per cent suggesting the
Conservatives would be the most likely to control immigration compared to
only 12 per cent who thought Labour would.
