Labour take 8% lead in Polls

There is a new ComRes poll published tonight (10th January 2011) for tomorrow’s Independent which shows Labour opening up a lead of 8% over the Conservatives:

Conservative 34% (down 3%)

Labour 42% (up 3%)

Lib Dem 12% (up 1%)

This is the biggest Labour lead, and the Tories’ lowest share of the vote, in any poll since last May’s general election and the biggest Labour lead since ComRes began polling for The Independent in 2006.

The figures would give Labour an overall majority of 102 if repeated at the next election.
