“Last October Gordon Brown bottled out of calling an election at least in part because an ICM/News of the World poll in marginal seats predicted the Tories would win 49 Labour seats. Tomorrow’s News of the World carries the results of a similar ICM poll which shows that things have got three times as bad for Labour in the marginals. If an election were held now, the Tories would sweep away 131 Labour MPs and win a healthy 64 seat majority. Key points from the poll… * 131 Labour MPs, including four Cabinet Ministers, will be booted out of the Commons. * Voters think Cameron is ahead in almost every area, from setting taxes to winning the War on Terror. * Working class voters are deserting Labour because of Brown’s bungling decision to scrap the 10p tax band”
