The YouGov MRP poll for The Times - the only one to predict Theresa May would lose her majority - forecasts Mr Johnson will win 359 seats in a triumphant return to No 10, up 42 on the 2017 result. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is poised for disaster and will win 211 seats, down 51 from two years ago, when the country goes to the polls on December 12, according to the Times opinion poll. If repeated on polling day, it would be the Tories' best election performance since 1987. The Conservatives are forecast to make scores of gains at Labour’s expense in the Brexit-voting Midlands and North of England. Labour is set to suffer its second-worst defeat since World War Two, winning only two more seats than Michael Foot’s party in 1983. According to the poll, which is based on more than 100,000 interviews, the Tories win 44 seats from Labour, with Tom Watson and Caroline Flint among the Labour big guns to lose their seats. The Conservatives would win 43 per cent of the overall vote, the same as the last time the country went to the polls. Labour's share of the vote would be 32 per cent, down nine points on the last election result. The Lib Dems are on course to win just 13 seats, with the SNP securing 43, up eight from 2017, the poll found. It uses detailed local data from the past seven days, including constituency, voter demographics and past voting behaviour. Much of the polling was done before Jeremy Corbyn's car crash BBC interview with Andrew Neil and the attack by the Chief rabbi - so it is not clear what impact they had on voters. POLL POSITION In the 2017 election, a similar YouGov poll predicted the Conservatives would win 42 per cent of the vote, with Labour on 38 per cent. The figure was almost perfect, with Theresa May winning 43.5 per cent of seats, and Jeremy Corbyn 41. Crucially it also forecast a hung parliament when every other survey predicted a Tory majority. YouGov said of its methods: “YouGov’s official MRP model accurately forecast the hung parliament in the 2017 General Election. “Even correctly projecting that seats such as Kensington & Chelsea and Canterbury would be won by the Labour Party.” The major poll comes on the day another survey by a Remainer group predicted the Tories would romp to a majority of 82 on election day. The MRP poll of 40,000 people was commissioned by the Best for Britain pro-EU campaign group. It says Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party will limp in with just 199 seats. Mr Johnson is also bookies' favourites to surge back to Number 10, with the Tories 4/11 to win an overall majority on polling day. Labou
