wednesday1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Labour's lead in the opinion polls has been growing steadily over the last few months to such an extent that their current share of the vote now stands at 45%, more than that of the Cons 35% and their partners the Libs on 9% put together. Given that the ConDems public service cuts have yet to kick-in with GDP falling and the already extremely fragile nature of the ConDems 'partnership' Will the coalition be strong enough to survive the coming storm? YouGov have 10 point Labour lead 12 Feb 2011 YouGov’s weekly poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 35%, LAB 45%, LDEM 9%. This is the biggest Labour lead YouGov have shown since the election and makes them the third company to give Labour a double point lead after Ipsos MORI and Angus Reid. Of course, I’ll add my usual caveat about any voting intention poll showing anything interesting, it may just be a blip or sample error. In the last week or so YouGov have been showing Labour with a lead of around about 7 points, this may be an outlier and we’ll be back to usual on Monday, or it could be the start of a further lengthening of the lead.

spindrift Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 If Clegg is dumped by his party it's unlikely the coalition will survive. Nobody expected the level of corruption and incompetence we've seen from Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
