Big poll boost for Labour… McCain calls for debate delay
-
YouGov: Con 41 (-3) Lab 31 (+7) Lib Dems 16 (-4)
Two big stories from the UK and US tonight.
At home, results from the YouGov poll for the Sun have given Labour a seven-point poll bounce in the wake of Brown’s speech to Conference.
In the USA, McCain has called for the first debate, scheduled for Friday night in Oxford, Mississippi, to be postponed. He said he is suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to help deal with the economic crisis.
Obama meanwhile said he saw no reason to delay the debate as it was important for Americans to hear from the person who would soon be “dealing with this mess”.
