Labour takes 2-point lead over Conservatives - YouGov poll

(Reuters) - Ahead of the May 7 election, the opposition Labour Party extended its lead to 2 percentage points over Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives, according to a YouGov opinion poll for the Sun newspaper published on Thursday. Thirty-five percent of voters supported the Labour Party, up one point from yesterday, over the Conservatives, who remained unchanged at 33 percent, polling company YouGov said. The anti-European Union UK Independence Party, or UKIP, was down one percentage point at 13 percent. The two main parties have been neck-and-neck in most opinion polls since the start of the year, with neither establishing a sustained lead exceeding the typical 3-percentage-point margin of error. Opinion polls have consistently shown that neither the Conservatives nor Labour are likely to win an overall majority in the 650-seat Parliament.
