<p>Since Boris Johnson became British Prime Minister after being declared party chief by Tory members, the Conservatives have gained 10 points to stand at 30%, a survey by Deltapoll for the Mail on Sunday showed.</p>
<p>That puts them five points ahead of Labour at 25%, with the Liberal Democrats on 18% and the Brexit Party on 14%.</p>
<p>But if Labour was to drop Jeremy Corbyn as leader, the poll says the party would shoot into the lead at 34%, with the Tories on 28%, the Brexit Party on 14% and the Lib Dems on 13%.</p>
<p>The poll comes as Mr Johnson set out an eye-catching domestic stall promising a £3.6 billion boost for left-behind towns as he sought to shift the political spotlight from Brexit.</p>
<p>The PM also pledged funding for a major new rail link between Manchester and Leeds, and promised action on housing and crime, despite insisting he was not preparing for a snap autumn election.</p>
<p>Mr Johnson said: <em>“I want to be the PM who does with Northern Powerhouse Rail what we did with Crossrail in London.</em></p>
<p><em>“And today I am going to deliver on my commitment to that vision with a pledge to fund the Leeds to Manchester route.</em></p>
<p><em>“It will be up to local people and us to come to an agreement on the exact proposal they want – but I have tasked officials to accelerate their work on these plans so that we are ready to do a deal in the autumn.”</em></p>

<p>Downing Street said detailed plans regarding the proposed rail route will be published in the autumn, following a review into HS2.</p>
<p>The trans-Pennine route is expected to cut journey times and provide additional capacity for people across the region.</p>
<p>The Mail on Sunday poll also found that opinion was evenly divided on the question of whether Mr Johnson’s partner Carrie Symonds should live with him at Number 10.</p>
<p>While 33% backed such a move, the same number were opposed to it.</p>
<p>Asked how they would feel if Mr Johnson married their daughter, 57% said they would be sad, while 16% said they would be happy.</p>
<p>Other polls showed a similar boost in support for the Tories since Mr Johnson’s election as leader.</p>
