Ethics election poll watch: Three main parties closer than ever

By Press Office
Created 27/04/2010 - 08:10

Three new polls out today show how close the race is now between the three biggest parties - with only 4- 5% between them.

A ComRes poll for ITV News and the Independent has:

Con 32%
LD 31%
Lab 28%

An ICM poll for the Guardian has:

Con 33%
LD 30%
Labour 28%

A YouGov poll for the Sun has:

Con 33%
LD 29%
Lab 28%

All point to a hung parliament with Labout possibly having the largest number of seats despite coming third in overall vote share.



Ekklesia is reporting on the polls from a perspective in line with our 'ethics election' initiative [1]. This will include specifically highlighting what's happening to the smaller parties and 'others' who often get ignored in the polls, but could be important [2] in a balanced/ hung Parliament. We do not support or endorse betting on poll results. We have also suggested that this election there is likely to be a significant disparity in the polls [3]
