The Sunday Polls

There are five polls out today. The best for the tories is pictured here.

Its interesting to note that the polls indicate that people seem to have got over the shock of seeing Nick Clegg on TV. The Tories are on top but not by enough.

Its Labour that need a massive change in fortune. They are doing appallingly. They are in office but being treated like a third party.

The media are bored by the campaigning style of the parties which is very restricting. A fair point. I think the public are to. Hence everyone has gone over board with the TV debates and Nick Clegg.

But it is a fascinating election in that no one knows how its going to end.

Lib Dem Leader Leads

What an initial impact there has been since Nick Clegg was given the oppurtunity to appear with Brown and Cameron in the first leadership debate on ITV.

The polls that have appeared in the days since the debate have all shown a) Clegg benefitted massively b) it has shaken up the election completely.

I suspect this is all soft support, but if he can keep these floating voters then who knows what will happen on election day.

Clegg will find it harder now as the big guns are turned on the Lib Dems and the scrutiny begins. It will also be harder to shine in the second debate on foreign affairs.

But he has made the most of his oppurtunity and given Brown and Cameron a lot to think about.

Game on all round.
