Majority of Sky News YouGov voters panel still undecided on who to vote for just days before general election
A majority of people on the Sky News YouGov voters panel say they are still undecided who to vote for.
As the politicians make the last push for support, many on our panel say they are uninspired by all the main parties.
Of the 51 people who responded, 32 are still struggling with their choice.
One voter said: “I seem to change my mind almost from day to day.”
Another echoed this: “So many people are in the same boat. They don’t know who to vote for, or who will do a good job.”
The undecided voters could make a big difference come 4 July.
Among our panel, almost two-thirds of those who are undecided, live in constituencies which could flip at the election.

Our panel, managed by pollster YouGov, represent different areas and a range of political views.
They all voted in 2019 and intend to vote this time too.
We asked our wavering voters why they can’t decide.
“I think there is a large disillusionment with politics in this country now,” one person told us.
Another said: “I see it more as a choice to pick who to not vote for rather than who to vote for.”
While some believe the result is a foregone conclusion: “I almost feel like, is there a point in me actually coming out to vote? Because Labour are going to win. The gap is just so big.”

We dug deeper and asked our voters panel what would help sway their votes.
“Politicians now are just so out of touch with common people,” one person said.
“They’re not understanding how the cost of living affects people who are on minimum wage and how not being able to access an NHS doctor or an NHS dentist affects them.”
Several others mentioned the shortage of NHS dentists, and a lack of policy detail came up frequently.

“I want to know how they’re going to look after people that rent properties… The wage increases, minimum wage, my wife’s on a minimum wage so we need to be better off financially,” one voter told us.
And there are also voters so disillusioned they cannot find any political home.
“Most of the people in my area… are of the opinion that they ain’t gonna bother voting because nobody cares about them anyway.”
And another told us “at the moment I’m going to be a last-minute decider”, undecided until the very end.
