miliband-debate_3247432b

There’s only one poll out tonight on the result of the “challengers” TV debate. It’s from Survation, and it’s awarded the victory to Miliband. Here’s the result:

Miliband – 35% Sturgeon – 31% Farage – 27% Bennett – 5% Wood – 2%

Now we’ll have to watch the polls in the coming days to see if there’s any movement on voting intention. The polls have remained relatively static after previous TV debates (and other televised election events) – will tonight be any different?
