Ipsos MORI’s monthly polls since the general election show that support has swung from the Liberal Democrats to Labour across the country, but much more sharply in some regions than in others.
These findings should convince Labour that it has everything to gain by putting up as many candidates in the May local elections as possible.
These findings should convince Labour that it has everything to gain by putting up as many candidates in the May local elections as possible.
In the North East, Liberal Democrat support has almost disappeared, falling to just 4% of those certain to vote, an overall swing to Labour of 19%, and they have lost half their support in London, with an 11% swing to Labour
In the South West, the Lib Dems’ strongest region at the election, the swing to Labour has been 16%.
Most recent polls have shown the LibDems well below that post-election average of 15% nationally, which suggests LibDems may well be even worse off now in many regions than these figures show.
The latest poll in today's News of the World puts Labour on 42%. Conservatives on 40% and LibDems on 9%
