Populus has Tories one point ahead
| Populus/The Times | Apr 20 | Apr 13 |
|---|---|---|
| CONSERVATIVES | 32% | 36% |
| LIB DEMS | 31% | 21% |
| LABOUR | 28% | 33% |
Fieldwork was carried out yesterday evening and this morning, and confirms the continuing Lib Dem bounce, with Clegg’s party up 10 points, Labour down five, and the Conservatives down four at 32.
Peter Riddell comments in The Times:
“The Lib Dem rise has been particularly fuelled by younger voters since last Thursday’s party leaders’ debate, while there are indications that the debate may boost turnout.”
