LONDON (Reuters) - Foreign Secretary Liz Truss remains far ahead of leadership rival Rishi Sunak in the race to become Britain's next prime minister, a YouGov poll for Sky News showed on Thursday.

The governing Conservative Party is voting by postal ballot to choose a new party leader after Boris Johnson said he would step down following a series of scandals. The winner will be announced on Sept. 5.

Truss, who has consistently topped polls of Conservative Party members, has a 32 percentage point lead over Sunak among those who have decided to vote, the survey showed. Truss was on 66%, with Sunak on 34%.

The poll said only 13% have either not decided how they will vote, or will not vote at all.

The guys at The Duran say she's dumber than dirt.

But that there is no one who is any better in leadership there.

She's NOT dumb.
I watched her debates against Sunak on YouTube. She cleaned his clock.

I think she will govern the same. But will not have the personal foibles. We will see...
