The survey, carried out by Kantar, put the Conservatives on just 32 percent, down nine points compared with the last comparable poll in March. Meanwhile Labour is up four points to 35 percent, suggesting Mrs May’s party is bearing the brunt of the blue for the ongoing Brexit deadlock, which has seen the UK fail to leave the bloc on March 29, as promised. Kantar interviewed a total of 1,172 people online between April 4 and 8.

Labour is on 35 percent, up four points since last month’s result, according to the poll. 

Mrs May is currently in Brussels, trying to tie up a further extension to Article 50 which could force parties to field candidates in next month’s European Parliamentary elections. 

The poll also suggested more than half of those questioned would like the final Brexit deal to be put to the public in the form of a referendum.

In total, 51 per cent of respondents said they wanted a public “confirmatory” vote.

By contrast, slightly less than one in three – 32 percent – did not want a second vote, with the remaining 17 undecided.

Mr Corbyn has so for been reluctant to demand another referendum in cross-party talks with Theresa May – but plenty in is own party back a People’s Vote, including Enfield Southgate MP Bambos Charalambous, who told Express.co.uk he backed the idea.

The poll also showed 71 percent of those asked thought the Government had handled Brexit talks badly, up nine points compared with last month.

However, fewer people – 42 percent – thought leaving the EU would have only negative effects, down six points compared with March.

Only 25 percent thought the reverse, that Brexit would have only positive effects and no negative ones.

The Liberal Democrats had 11 percent support, up three points, while UKIP polled at seven percent, up one point.

However, in a separate question, more than three times as many – 23 percent – said they would vote for a candidate from Nigel Farage’s new Brexit Party if given the chance, while 27 percent said the same of the Independent Group, which is on the verge of becoming a political party.

Daniel Kawczynski yesterday confirmed his decision to quit the Eurosceptic European Research Group (ERG) and is urging Tory colleagues to back Mrs May’s deal or face derailing Brexit completely.

He told Express.co.uk today he was concerned at Tory electoral prospects in the upcoming council elections and beyond.

He said of a “hardcore” of ERG members who were refusing to back Mrs May: “They are doing huge damage to the Conservative Party.

“If we get this wrong it will be much worse than when we left the Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992.

“We will be out of office as a result of this hardcore of 30 people.”
