Liz Truss's Conservative party would be almost completely wiped out if an election was held today - winning a mere three seats - according to a bombshell poll.
A new poll by YouGov showed the Tories trailing behind Keir Starmer's Labour Party by a huge 33 points.
The latest figures show Labour with a majority of the vote on 54 per cent, with the Conservatives behind with less than half that on 21 per cent.
Data analysed with the Electoral Calculus suggests if the poll was recreated in a general election, it would mean a near-total wipeout for the Conservative Party.
The model shows the party holding three seats while Labour win 565 seats out of 650 in the Commons.
New Prime Minister Liz Truss has seen her party's poll ratings plunge following Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget last Friday.
The government's economic plan, including the biggest tax cut in 50 years, failed to reassure markets as the value of the pound dropped sharply and UK stocks plummeted.
