Labour has a strong lead in voting preferences among UK students ahead of a general election expected later this year, but nearly one in three is yet to make up their mind over who to support.
In a survey of 5,200 learners conducted by the National Union of Students, 89 per cent of respondents aged 18 or over said that they were registered to vote and 87 per cent of these said that they intended to have their say in the poll.
Among those intending to vote, Labour was by far the most popular party, backed by 38 per cent of respondents. It was followed by the Greens (11 per cent), with the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives tied on 5 per cent. There was 3 per cent support for the Scottish National Party and 2 per cent for Reform UK.
However, 30 per cent of respondents said they were yet to decide who they would vote for.
