General Election 2019: Opinion polls over the last seven days

There’​s one day left until we go to the polls

As the rain lashes and wind howls, apocalyptic portents abound on the final day of the election campaign. The ice in Greenland is melting much faster than thought, the US president is getting charged with high crimes and misdemeanours, and North Korea’s dictator has been riding a white horse up a sacred mountain. I’m sure all this in the Book of Revelation somewhere. Speaking of doom-laden prophesies, Boris Johnson is on course for a majority of 28 seats in parliament, according to a major, pre-poll projection. But soothsayers be damned! There’s still a full day of campaigning left to win over hearts, minds and bodies willing to traipse to the polling station despite the miserable weather. I’m Adam Forrest, and welcome to The Independent’s daily Inside Politics briefing.
