British Voters Unimpressed as Johnson, Corbyn Clash in TV Debate

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition Labour
   leader Jeremy Corbyn clashed over Brexit in the first televised debate
   Tuesday, ahead of the December 12 election. Both men faced laughter and
   heckling from the audience, and polls show much of the voting public
   appeared unimpressed by the debate.

   Recent polls give Johnson's Conservatives a lead of between 8 and 12
   percentage points over Labour, which still may not be enough to give
   the prime minister a parliamentary majority.
