Survation Poll: UK Conservatives 47%, Labour 30%

According to the Survation poll conducted for the "Good Morning Britain" TV show, the UK’s ruling Conservative party holds a commanding 17 point lead over the opposition Labour party, Reuters reported earlier on the day.

Key findings:

Support for Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservatives was at 47 percent, while 30 percent backed the opposition Labour party

The centrist Liberal Democrats was on 7 percent, while just 4 percent said they would vote for UKIP, down almost nine percentage points from its support in the 2015 election

The poll, which comes after UKIP suffered heavy losses in last week's council election, found that 54 percent of UKIP voters said they would now vote Conservative.

Survation polled 1,005 people between May 5 and 6.
