UK ELECTIONS

David Cameron and the Tories have regained the momentum. Some have credited Cameron's performance in the second live debate.

From the UK Daily Mail:

David Cameron's Conservative Party is continuing its fightback according to the latest poll, while Labour has slumped to a six-month low.

The Tories are up two points at 35 per cent, the Liberal Democrats are up one on 31 per cent while Labour is down two on 26 per cent, an ICM survey for the Sunday Telegraph shows.

Mr Cameron is beginning to open up a clear lead, but the poll appears to show they are still well short of where they need to be to win an overall majority.

From MerCo press "Tory leader Cameron gains gound in latest debate, according to polls":

a YouGov poll for The Sun showed 36% thought that the Tory leader had performed best, against 32% for the Lib Dem leader and 29% for Brown.

Cameron shrewdly lifted some of Clegg’s tactics from the first debate, lumping the Lib Dems and Labour together as the “other two parties” and, like Clegg, warning of old politics.
