Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn are neck-and-neck in the race to win over the British public, with viewers of the first televised general election debate between the two men split down the middle on who performed best.
Recent polls have shown Johnson’s Conservative Party with a clear lead over Corbyn’s Labour party, with Johnson’s personal ratings well ahead of Corbyn’s.
However, a YouGov poll of viewers following the ITV Leaders Debate on Tuesday found they were almost equally divided on which leader was more impressive.
The snap poll found that 51% believes that Johnson had performed best in the debate, while 49% thought that Corbyn came on top.
