Tories and Labour level in latest poll - but most people think Theresa May would make the best PM

The Conservatives have drawn back level with Labour, according the latest opinion poll from YouGov.

If there was a General Election tomorrow, pollsters say the two main parties would each get 42% support.

The Tories were a point behind in the last poll by YouGov – though other polls have put the party ahead.

The Lib Dems are trailing on just six per cent.

And in another boost for the Tories, YouGov also asked who people thought would make the best prime minister.

And despite almost seemingly a daily crisis in her fragile government Theresa May polled best on 35%, six percentage points ahead of Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn.

The polls were carried out on January 28/29.

It comes as Mrs May faces fresh pressure over Brexit.

This time she is being urged to clarify where she stands on Britain’s future trade agreements.

The prime minister has said Britain would not face a choice between a free trade deal with the EU after Brexit and striking deals with the rest of the world.
