UK PM race: Liz Truss ahead of Rishi Sunak (Survey)

Former Chancellor Sunak was found to have the support of 26 per cent, while 12 per cent were undecided. It is the second poll from Wednesday showing the Cabinet minister widening her lead over the British Indian ex-minister, with an earlier YouGov poll showing Truss was ahead among all age groups, across different parts of the country and among men and women.

“YouGov gives her a 34 point lead which extends, on a forced choice, to a 38 point lead (69 per cent to 31 per cent). Divide our 16 points of don’t knows and others evenly between the candidates… Truss has a 32 point lead (66 per cent to 34 per cent),” the ConservativeHome survey claims.
