Britain's ruling Conservatives were one percentage point ahead of the opposition Labour Party one day before a general election, a TNS poll showed on Wednesday. Support for the Conservatives stood at 33 percent, down one point since last week, while Labour had also dropped by one point to 32%.
The Liberal Democrats, junior coalition partners to the Conservatives, were on 8 percent, the anti-European Union party UKIP on 14 percent, and the Greens on 6 percent. "With polling day around the corner the polls suggest that Labour and the Conservatives have reached stalemate," said Michelle Harrison, head of political and social research at TNS.
