ConHome surveys suggests that most CON activists now believe that the next general election is lost

The Eastleigh third place has just added to the gloom

The problem is that all this could be self-fulfilling

Dominating the front page of the Times this morning is a report of a ConHome survey of Tory supporters suggesting that a large majority believe that the next election is now lost.

Some of the key points are highlighted above and there’s little doubt that the party’s failure even to make second place in last week’s Eastleigh by-election has added to the gloom.

This is being fueled by reports of splits and hints of leadership challenges. Yesterday the money was going on Theresa May as Cameron’s successor.

It’s going to be a mega-task for the leadership to turn this round and there’s now less than 26 months to go.
