It would seem that the Tories have a 17% lead…

Yesterday, it became pretty clear with the current polling lead enjoyed by the Conservatives is 17%, with the publication of three polls:

Ipsos-Mori:

  • Conservatives – 43% (+7)
  • Labour – 26% (+2)
  • Lib Dems – 19% (-6)

ICM:

  • Conservatives – 44% (+1)
  • Labour – 27% (+1)
  • Lib Dems – 18% (-1)

Angus Reid Strategies:

  • Conservatives – 40%
  • Labour – 23%
  • Lib Dems – 20%

Each of these results on an election day would give the Conservatives a majority of 100 or more in the Commons and reduce Labour to less than 200 MPs – pretty much halving the PLP.

Now these polls cannot be taken as meaning the fight is over now – it’s not until the fat lady votes. But it does look promising!
