This statistic shows the voting intention of adults in Great Britain in a UK general election, from August 2017 to August 2019. During this period there was a gradual decline in support for both major parties in 2019, which accelerated dramatically from May onwards. The newly created Brexit Party jumped to suddenly take the lead, clearly benefitting from the two main parties losing support.
