New poll: more Conservative to Labour switchers back net zero target

New polling from Focaldata for the ECIU found that nearly three-quarters (71%) of people who voted Conservative in 2019 but now say they’ll vote Labour if there was an election tomorrow, support the 2050 net zero target. [2]

Overall two-thirds (66%) of people support the target and about the same (67%) of those who say they would vote Conservative if an election were held tomorrow. This compared to 24% of all voters who said they oppose the target.

Voters ranked climate and the environment the fourth most important issues facing the country, behind the economy, health and immigration, but ahead of housing, crime and the UK leaving the EU.
