This is our latest daily forecast for the 2024 General Election in the UK. This forecast is made on the basis of an election taking place on 4 July 2024.
Forecasts are made on the basis of new constituency boundaries.
What does your forecast show? – We show the most likely range of possible seats for each party.
What do you use for your forecast? – We use all the latest polling data, where available. We also look at the betting markets and other information to help guide our forecast. We calculate the interaction between the support for the parties on as local a level as statistically possible and then use this to run a Monte Carlo simulation of the election.
What has changed since the last forecast? – We have made slight adjustments to our tactical voting assumptions.
What do you predict will happen in Seat X? What is the probability of Party Y having more votes than Z? – As we approach the election we reduce uncertainty in our model and are able to answer questions like this. Whilst we do not automatically publish a prediction for each seat, we can indicate a most likely outcome if required and also probabilities of victory for each candidate.

Commentary
This forecast presents our lowest ever Conservative figure for votes and seats. We now have Rishi Sunak down to a 41.3% chance of holding onto his seat. The Tory leader was in Torridge and Tavistock today, and our forecast gives Geoffrey Cox only a 36.8% chance of winning that seat.
We have seen a distinct decline in SNP support over the past few week. Across the whole of Great Britain, Reform and the Liberal Democrats appear to have plateaued.
As we have stated before, the current multi-dimensional swings are of an order not seen in polling history or post-war elections, and there is great deal of uncertainty as to what the actual outcome in individual seats will be.
Key Features
The overall summary of our forecast is “Labour on course for a wipeout”.
