Polls Show Steep Fall In Conservative Support Ahead of British General
Election

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - With fewer than 24 hours to go until the ballot boxes open in
   Britain for the general election, the latest polling shows a sharp drop
   in support for the ruling Conservatives. While most polls still suggest
   Prime Minister Boris Johnson will win a majority --it's by no means
   certain that he'll still be in 10 Downing Street after the election.

   Prime Minister Boris Johnson joined an early morning milk round in the
   northern city of Leeds Wednesday.

   Johnson's Conservatives are hoping to make gains in these northern
   seats--that were once safe opposition Labour seats but which voted
   strongly for Brexit.
