The Conservative party would be almost entirely wiped out in Wales in a general election, according to a new poll which emphatically shows how far the party has fallen. A YouGov poll for WalesOnline, released ahead of St David's Day, shows the Conservatives' share of the vote has slipped to just 19%, while Labour's share has surged from 41% in 2019 to 53% now.
Among people aged 24-50, the Tory share of the vote is just 7%. A series of crises, allegations of sleaze and government mismanagement have engulfed the Conservative party since the election of 2019, in which time the UK has had three different Prime Ministers.
According to the Wales Governance Centre, the YouGov poll shows that based on uniform swing and current boundaries the Conservative party would keep just two Welsh seats, the lowest number since they got no seats in the 2001 election. These two graphics shows the difference between the current projected results and the 2019 election:
