Johnson is headed for a landslide victory based on votes already cast. Hunt can’t win even if he gets 100% of the rest.
Unlike a general election, held on a single day plus a variable number of postal votes, a conservative party election is entirely postal. The voting period ends July 22.
On the basis of votes already cast, the Conservative Home Page says “Johnson has Won Already“.
Today, our survey shows Johnson on 72 per cent and Hunt on 28 per cent. We have varied the standard question and added one to ask whether or not respondents have already voted. Seventy-one per cent of respondents say that they have done so
If the survey is accurate, it would be reasonable to assume, on the evidence available at the moment, that Johnson will win somewhere between 67 per cent and 72 per cent of the vote.
And if the survey is correct, Johnson has won this contest already. Even if the entire 28 per cent of those who haven’t voted yet opt for Hunt, he cannot catch the front-runner.
In conclusion, our surveys and YouGov’s poll last weekend are all singing the same song. Johnson has won.
The 67-72% prediction takes into consideration a You-Gov poll last week that had Johnson at 67% and Hunt at 29%.
Newly Registered Voters
These newly-joined members are more pro-Boris.: 85% say they will vote for him. But given the membership as a whole backs Boris over Hunt by 74% to 26%, all these new members are doing is shifting the dial, not changing the resulthttps://t.co/CqjGEsLmQV pic.twitter.com/iPw99iYW1k

Deliver Brexit or Else
By 48% to 24% Brits say Boris Johnson should resign if he fails to deliver Brexit by 31 October (providing he is in power in the first place). Conservative voters are split (38% to 39%) https://t.co/zspl0a7qNO pic.twitter.com/lK86dVq5vs
