Tory poll finds Theresa May is favourite to succeed Cameron

Home Secretary Theresa May has topped ConservativeHome’s monthly reader poll as most likely to succeed David Cameron to become Conservative leader.

May took 23% of the vote. It’s the second month running she’s come out on top.

But there were only three people’s votes in it between her and Boris Johnson, who took 22% of 800 responses and came in second.

Michael Gove took 14%, down from 17% last month, and William Hague is also at 14%, up from 10% last month.
