Gerri Peev: Poll blow for Labour?

SKY has been flashing an IPSOS/Mori poll which shows that Labour is now TWENTY points behind the Conservatives. The network reports that Labour is on 28 per cent, the Conservatives on 48 per cent and the Liberal Democrats are on 17 per cent.
One shocking aspect of this is the tumble that the Lib Dems have taken since a weekend poll put them on 22 per cent.

It is not surprising, then, that the party's Treasury spokesman amusingly admonished Sky for misreporting the poll, pointing out that the figures it quotes are only for people who say they are certain to vote at the next election.

So it means that Tory supporters are more likely to turn out and vote while Lib Dem supporters are sitting on the fence...
