UK Opinion Polls Thread

YouGov Poll:

National Government - 57% (Tories - 42%, Lib Dems - 15%)
Labour - 36%
Others - 7%

If these numbers were repeated at the next General Election (based on UNS):

National Government - 343 seats (Tories - 322 seats, Lib Dems - 21 seats)
Labour - 281 seats
Others - 26 seats

National Government majority of 36

That big a swing generates that few seat changes eh?  I assume it will be more when the lines are redrawn and reallocated, and Wales is stripped of its extra seats no?

On the day Nick Clegg delivers a gaffe filled PMQs, YouGov brings us:
44 (+1) - 35 (nc) - 13 (-1)

Lowest for the LibDems from YouGov since 16th November 2007.

Speaking of Clegg's performance last week at PM's question time, the Speaker cut him off for  failing to answer a question, and going off on some tangent (which happens all the time actually between the government spokesperson and the opposition spokesperson; it is only the back-benchers who are on a tighter leash). That was the first time I have ever seen that happened to the guy behind the dispatch box. Has anyone else seen that before? His performance was indeed unsteady. He was almost sweating at points. I meant to bring the matter up, to ask the Brits what they thought about it.
