Recent polls indicate a significant lead for Sadiq Khan in the upcoming London mayoral election, with various sources reporting a 25-point advantage over Conservative candidate Susan Hall. This lead is echoed across different polling organizations, including YouGov and DeltapollUK, with Labour showing a strong lead in Westminster voting intentions at 44% and the Conservatives at 23%. Khan is leading with 49% to Hall's 24% in the mayoral race, and Labour's support in London reaches 52% against the Conservatives' 17%. Despite this advantage, there is noted dissatisfaction among voters regarding Khan's handling of issues such as crime and housing. The Labour Party is ahead in both inner and outer London, and even among traditionally Conservative-supporting demographics like pensioners. Khan's lead mirrors his position in the 2021 election, though he eventually won by a narrower margin than polls suggested. Commentary suggests that while Khan is poised for a third term, he must work to convince a broad coalition of voters of his merits amidst these concerns.
