According to the latest ConservativeHome survey, the figures are:
- Boris Johnson: 30%
- Michael Gove: 17%
- David Davis: 16%
- William Hague: 16%
- Theresa May: 12%
- Philip Hammond: 6%
- Adam Afriyie: 2%
- George Osborne: 2%
The Davis support is hardcore. When asked who should lead the Party into the next election, 14% of respondents name him. 15% plump for Boris.
But the overwhelming favourite to lead the Conservatives into the next election is...David Cameron, with over half the vote: 55% to be precise.
Apart from Davis and Boris, no other leading Tory gets out of single figures. William Hague comes the closest, at just over 5%.
Just under 1850 people responded to the survey, of whom over 800 were Conservative Party members. The figures above are taken from the latter's views.
