The Liberal Democrats have overtaken Labour in European election polls, but the Brexit Party is still the clear frontrunner.
A YouGov study shows the Lib Dems polling at 16%, one point ahead of Labour.
Meanwhile, the Tories have dropped to 9%.
The Brexit Party are on 35% according to the survey of more than 7,000 people.
The Greens are at 10%, ahead of the Tories, whilst Change UK are at 5% and UKIP on 3%.
YouGov’s Adam McDonnell said:
“Both the Conservatives and Labour look set to lose a majority of those who voted for them in the 2017 general election.
“Only one in five (20%) of those who voted Conservative just under two years ago are sticking with the party for next week’s European Parliament vote, with 62% instead planning to back the Brexit Party.
“Labour is also losing a large proportion of their voters, mainly to Remain parties (Lib Dem 21%, Green 16%, Change UK 6%).”
Compared with YouGov’s poll on May 8-9, the Lib Dems and Brexit Party are up one point, whilst Labour and the Conservatives are both down one.
