Tory support free falls as new poll shows a TEN point plunge

Tory support appears to be in free fall amid the Brexit chaos today as a new poll showed the party down 10 per cent in a month.

Today's BMG poll comes just a day after a Kantar survey showed a nine per cent plunge in support.

Both polls put Theresa May's party in second place behind Labour amid mounting public anger at the shambolic handling of Brexit.

Two successive polls showing dramatic falls in support will deeply alarm Tory HQ ahead of local elections on May 2 and likely European elections on May 23.

A drubbing at the ballot box would add further pressure to Mrs May's ailing position as she fights off attempts by Tory Brexiteers to oust her.

Labour has also lost ground, according to the BMG poll, down three to 32 per cent.

The Liberal Democrats, Ukip, Independent Group and Brexit Party are all closely matched at just below 10 per cent.

The blow to Mrs May comes as she prepares to face furious MPs today to explain why Brexit has been postponed for a second time to October 31.

The Halloween exit was confirmed in the early hours of this morning after EU leaders finally reached an agreement on how long to let Britain stay in the club.

Amid the chaos triggered by MPs three-time rejection of the deal, yesterday's polling found more than half of people now support putting the Brexit deal to a referendum.

Across all voters, 51 per cent say it should have a public vote while just 32 per cent are opposed. Leave voters split 53 per cent to 35 per cent against, while Remain voters are heavily split 62 per cent to 22 per cent in favour.  

According to the poll if a new referendum were held, 41 per cent say they would Remain, with 35 per cent backing Leave - with just nine per cent saying they don't know and the rest vowing not to take part at all.

Fewer than one in four people say Britain should end the impasse by leaving the EY with No Deal, with one in three saying Brexit should be cancelled instead.
