I think it would be acceptable to support whoever was best place to topple Clegg
Political polling
- Thread starter brogdale
- Start date
This ComRes/Independent poll is interesting. Showing the usual Labour lead, albeit only by three points, but suggests fairly strong opposition to Osborne's cuts programme, and that few people believe either main party can cut spending without damaging the NHS or other key services.
Personally, I don't think I could bring myself to campaign for Labour, but I'd vote for them if it could mean Clegg getting the boot.

Sad thing is that he'll walk straight into some EU gravy train commissionaire-type role on getting booted out, he'll not be down at Executive Job Club or getting sanctioned any time soon.

Read on, the poll was false. But if it weren't you should campaign for UKIP to achieve a decapitation.
Completely agree that the last thing Clegg deserves is more gravy train riding
... but I can think of worse things if he gets an election drubbing first ...
A drubbing machine, next May

Can't remember the last time I saw a Guardian headline like this. It's usually all doom and gloom stuff for Labour. I may have missed some though.

It's easy to write exciting headlines about polls if you ignore things like margins of error or trends.
If the vermin dip far enough and stay there for a bit UKIP will gain as more traditional/old school tory voters will consider the election lost and vote for a party that's closer to their views. If it's closer-run and the prospect of preventing a Labour government is on the cards they'll stick with ham face.

14% for lib-dems. Hmm...
I think it was Osborne's plans for 50 billion in cuts, people don't want to see that level of slashing, for the first time in years I think Labour may just get in, though how different it will be just don't know yet.
btw, has this been the most passive 5 year term in terms of political opposition, parliamentary and non-parliamentary?, hundreds dying from benefit cuts/sanctions, but little challenge.
You've certainly been pushing that that's the case for years.

That guardian poll looks pretty rouge.
The lib dems have been stuck on 6-8 % for months and no other pollsters are showing some magic recovery. Their has been a slight up swing in the labour vote in the last few weeks - but nowhere near as dramatic as that.

ComRes had a lib-dem 12% at start of this week.
There has, and I think - or would like to think! - that may continue, because there does seem to be a fair bit of opposition to spending cuts on the scale that Osborne laid out in the Autumn statement. This poll is probably a bit of an outlier, though.

ICM have never had the LDs in single digits. Labour's 33 is standard for recent polls, even the 5 point lead is not unusual for them over the last 12 months.
Despite the headlines the only thing this poll shows is a slight con - lib swing, still well within the margin of error.

Most seem to show labour lead reasserting itself and tories dropping back to 30/sub-30.
New TNS BMRB poll has
LAB 35% (+4)
CON 28% (-2)
Ukip 19% (N/C)
GRN 7% (+1)
LD 5% (-1).
Last night's National Opinion Poll (YouGov):
LAB - 35% (+2)
CON - 30% (-3)
UKIP - 16% (+2)
GRN - 8% (+1)
LDEM - 6% (-2)
Populus
Lab 35 (-1)
Con 34 (=)
LD 9 (-1)
UKIP 13 (+1)
ICM
LAB 33%(+1)
CON 28%(-3)
LDEM 14%(+3)
UKIP 14%(nc)
GRN 5%(-1).
Indeed - should have said that it's slightly against what appears to be the current trend. The Torygraph will not acknowledge that, of course, partly out of dogma and partly because most of their journalists have been playing a frenzied game of soggy biscuit in the corner of the office ever since they heard about it.

Labour races into seven-point lead as ratings for Nigel Farage show sharp fall
Time to go.
The farage reportage is pathetic. But there MUST BE A COLLAPSE OF SOMEONE.

Clegg would give his eye teeth for Farage's approval ratings 'collapsed' or otherwise.
