London: With just few days to go until the polling day in the UK, the leading parties continue to be neck-and-neck in the race with the latest YouGov poll giving the Labour Party a one-point lead over the Conservatives.
Incumbent PM David Cameron is said to be the most preferred leader.
According to the YouGov poll published on Friday, Ed Miliband's Labour is the largest party with 35% support, one percent ahead of Cameron's Conservatives (34%). The third biggest support garner was Nigel Farage's anti-EU UKIP (UK Independence Party) with 12% support while Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats languished at number 4 with 8% support.

The latest poll comes after the three prominent rivals Cameron, Miliband and Clegg appeared at the BBC Question Time in their final TV showdown ahead of elections.
The Labour might be ahead as a party but when the voters were asked to set aside the politics and choose their most preferred leader, they settled for PM Cameron.

It can be noted that just few days ago an Ipsos Mori poll had given the conservative a five-point lead over the Labour.
The highly unpredictable UK election scheduled for May 7 is most probably going to result in a hung Parliament, according to the leading pollsters.
