NEW U.K. POLL SAYS TORIES HAVE SIX-POINT LEAD
Britain's ruling Conservatives have
moved into a six-point lead over the main opposition Labour

    The Conservatives are shown with a 38 pct share of the vote
against 32 pct for Labour and 27 pct for the centrist
Social-Democratic/Liberal Alliance. Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher has until June, 1988 to call a general election, but
most political analysts expect her to go to the country some
time this year.
