Another very good opinion poll today in the Guardian. ICM normally appear less favourbale to the Conservatives but this one has the parties on 38 Con, 34 Lab and 20 Lib Dem. It is reported on the BBC website.
It indicates that support for the Conservatives is climbing amongst women voters and that Gordon Brown would make matters worse for Labour, not better. With Brown in No.10 the lead would be nine points and the Lib Dems would slip to 19%. The good news for Labour is that they have gained two points from the last ICM poll. Much of the Conservative and Labour gain has come from the Lib Dems who have fallen 4 points. The paper indicates that this fall for the Lib Dems is because of their inability to make progress at the local elections and their leadership issues.
It also argues that the Conservatives are the best able to tackle the crucial issues of health, education, crime and immigration.
Good news!

Interesting Poll on this basis Cons would be largest party.
Not sure we would win back kingston.
A lot of Tories have a high regard for Ed Davey as an MP
But would sensible Liberals like him enter into a coalition with us.
Interestingly for all the "Anonymous" people that visit this site every day and leave petty comments, the Electoral Reform Society says that Kingston was one of the authorities where the party with the largest share of the vote did not win.
I don't think electoral reform is the way forward for lots of reasons, but it does rather belittle the Lib Dem mandate.
