The Tories have a 14-point lead over Labour and are set to be the biggest party following the general election, according to a new poll.
A fresh survey from Survation, conducted from November 14 to 16, put the Conservative Party on 42 per cent and Labour on 28 per cent.
The Lib Dems were left on 13 per cent, while the Brexit Party was at five per cent. The Greens were on three, while other parties made up nine per cent of the vote.
There were 1,010 people asked for their voting intention in the poll, which was conducted for Good Morning Britain.
They were read out names of the parties and candidates in their constituency, in a bid to reflect the impact of parties standing down in certain areas.
Despite the poll putting the Tories ahead, they are five points behind where they were in a similar poll at the same point in the 2017 election campaign – which led to a hung Parliament and the need for a confidence and supply agreement with the DUP to allow the Conservatives to form a Government.

Respondents also said that Brexit was the key issue in the election, with 34 per cent putting it as the most prescient issue in their opinion.
A YouGov poll released yesterday put the Tories on 45 per cent, a 17-point lead over Labour in that survey.
The new poll comes as the PM prepares to vow to cut employers’ National Insurance as part of a range of tax cuts as he seeks to get the business community back on side.
The Prime Minister will tell business leaders on Monday the Tories will put an end to Brexit “uncertainty and confusion”, should they be returned to power on December 12.
Mr Johnson, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson will be also be speaking to the Confederation of British Industry annual conference on Monday.
Labour is promising to create a climate apprenticeship programme – which will train an average of 80,000 people a year.
