Was Question 3 asked with exactly the above wording then?
The poll question didn't mention Labour/Conservative?
Dodgy poll, man ....

But that doesn't contradict what The39thStep said, which is correct - past polls have shown that younger people are more disposed to market driven economics/less opposed to privatisation's/etc than the older generations.

Unless something very unusual happens, neither the Labour party nor the Conservative Party will be prime minister.

Fair point
, but I was questioning whether or not the poll question would specify the parties of the two candidates, as well as their names. Or did it just say 'Jeremy Corbyn'/'Theresa May' only?

Labour's canny campaign is beginning to work

Corbyn's Labour now polling higher than Milliband's did in the 2015 election. Sort of irrelevant given that the Tories are way ahead of where they were, but in the land of small mercies, it has a slight significance.
Edit: and of course higher than Brown in 2010. The real prize in terms of heroic defeats would be getting beyond Blair's 35% in 2005.

So I guess Frank Field and John McTernan can shove their next coup up each other's poop-pipe.
Labour have really been playing nothing but blinders since the manifesto was "leaked" while the Tories have started to trip up.
McDonnell has skilfully managed to turn the narrative of the Tory manifesto into one of cuts for pensioners' fuel tax, and of the Tory manifesto being uncosted, unlike Labour's. The complacent bastards never expected to be held to account for this - and the beauty of it is that it makes it very difficult for the Tories to use the "yes, yes, very well, but how will you PAY for all this....????" argument against Labour's manifesto, as it is now they who are going on TV saying that it isn't necessary for a manifesto to be fully costed.
To top it off, Jamie Oliver is on BBC attacking it for abolishing free school meals, and every other party leader seems to focusing chiefly on attacking the Tories along similar lines. Could the perception that Labour are already out of the game have a "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" effect? The other parties ignore Labour and attack the Tories, and the Tories make mistakes from complacency.
I reckon the gap may narrow to single figures - let's see how the polls look next week.

Labour does also seem to have prominent entertainment figures coming out for them ie Stormzy ( for the youngers ), Maxine Peake and a few others.
The tories dont seem to have anyone voicing out for them
