Remarkable.

Six months ago, nearly 40% of the Conservative Party's 2017 voters had defected to the #Brexit Party

Today, that's down to 3%

73% of Britain's Leave voters are now lining up behind Boris Johnson

Go back to the spring and just 34% were lining up behind Theresa May

Compare & contrast with Remainers

42% Labour 27% Lib Dem, 19% Conservative, 5% Greens, 5% SNP

If this really is a "Brexit election" then only one side is mobilising accordingly
So far, and contrary to what Twitter Land has told us repeatedly since late summer, it seems that the Boris Johnson strategy of unifying the various Leaver clans by framing this as an existential, high-stakes contest is ... working.
More than a few analysts on here said the opposite - that the Conservative vote would "implode" post-October 31. This, we now know, was wrong. It was another misreading of basic voter psychology &, interestingly, another example of elite left-leaning audience misreading Leavers.
