UPDATE: Another poll for tomorrow’s papers, the YouGov daily tracker, apparently has: Con 38 (nc), Lab 33 (+1), LD 17 (nc). Translated to a general election on a uniform swing, that would also result in a hung parliament, with Labour on 298 seats to the Tories 284, and Labour 28 seats short of a working majority.
A new ICM poll for tomorrow’s News of the World shows the Tories back up three points to 40%, with Labour up one point to 31%. The Lib Dems are down two to 18%.
Translated uniformly to a general election, the new poll would result in a hung parliament, with the Tories 6 seats short of a working majority on 320 seats, and Labour on 260, according to the UK Polling Report’s Swing Calculator.
Below the topline, 57% of people said they expected to watch at least one of the live televised debates. 48% of people expect David Cameron to win the debates, while 23% think Gordon Brown will win and 12% say Nick Clegg. I expect the Lib Dems will be the ultimate winners from the TV debates, however, due to an unusual level of exposure.
