The Tories hit rock bottom today with support for their party across Britain falling to a record low of just 20 per cent, according to a new poll.
The Ipsos survey for The Standard showed backing for the Conservatives nosediving by seven points from 27 per cent in January.
The result is the worst for the Tories since 1978 when this regular poll tracker started and puts them a gaping 27 percentage points behind Labour.
Previous Conservative low points were 22 per cent under John Major in December 1994 and May 1995, 23 per cent in July 1997 when New Labour was settling into office under Tony Blair, and 23 per cent in December 2022 shortly after Rishi Sunak took over from Liz Truss’s brief and economically catastrophic administration.

Good but I feel it can go a bit lower if the Tories really put their backs into it.
The bottom is zero and they’re still not there somehow.
20% is still stupidly high.
1 in 5 people have seen the shit and corruption of the last 14 year. Then decided. Yep more of that please.
Now we know why promises of mental health spending never happen.
It’s also objectively not rock bottom.
It is a bit depressing.
… The worst poll of their lives so far.
Anyone remember when Gordon Brown took over as Prime Minister and the press made him call a general election after six months because he didn’t have a mandate?
I saw that one of the polls predicted the tories would be left with only 25 seats.
That’s 25 seats too many!
I believe they can reach the presitigious 0%.
It would be tricky to achieve even if all the frothing gammons naffed off to Reform (or whatever the BNP is calling itself these days) and the rest felt Starmer was sufficiently right of Thatcher, there would still be some people who lived up on the moors with no contact with the outside world who didn’t get the memo, along with a certain percentage who had lingering concussions and just ham-fisted numpties marking the wrong box.
Gammons! I haven’t heard that term since the good old bad old Brexit days! I think it needs to make a comeback!
Not that I’d advocate it, but having “milkshake” turned in to the verb “to milkshake” whenever Farage was also somewhat entertaining.
I still use the term Gammon when I’m road raging
they’ll come surging back for another 16 years after the red tories have a 4 year turn in which they fail to improve anything and are a little bit more restrained about their transphobia than the tories, thus alienating all the frothing transphobes.
Lower than under the Lettuce.
