oday’s Sunday Mirror/ComRes survey puts Labour up two points on 37 per cent - no party with an unbroken two-year lead has failed to win in the past 40 years
Labour are on course for election victory after enjoying an
uninterrupted lead over the Tories for TWO years, our poll reveals
today.
No party with an unbroken two-year lead has failed to win the following election in the past 40 years.
Today’s Sunday Mirror/ComRes survey puts Labour up two points on 37 per cent, the Tories also up two on 32 per cent, with the UK Independence Party down four on 15 per cent. The Lib Dems – up one point – trail in fourth place on nine per cent.
If a general election were held tomorrow, Labour leader Ed Miliband would be PM with a 60-seat Commons majority, our poll indicates.
The Tories would drop 59 seats while the Lib Dems would lose 36. UKIP would not win a single seat.
The last time the Tories were ahead in our poll was February 2012 when they were on 39 per cent with Labour at 38 per cent, the Lib Dems on 10 per cent and UKIP at five per cent.
ComRes expert Adam Ludlow said: “Going back to 1970, no party has ever avoided going behind in the main polls for two years without going on to form a government after the following election.”
