A remarkable IpsosMori/Reuters poll in some of the marginals David Cameron must win to secure a majority. The overall numbers show a swing of 5.5 per cent to the Tories — which is short of an overall majority.*
But the most striking finding is the renewed confidence in Gordon Brown’s leadership. Cameron loses on every count. I’ll leave it to these charts to tell the story.
* Worth noting that these marginals are deep in Labour territory. The seats lie between a swing of 5 and 9 per cent. The Tories needs a 6.9 per cent swing nationwide for a majority.
