YouGov’s poll tonight: fieldwork 14th-15th April:
* Conservative 37%
* Labour 31%
* Liberal Democrat 22%
* Others 10%

Two negative signs for the Tories today…

Even if I don’t always agree with it, at least its heart is in the right place
Applies more to the Conservatives: 24%
Applies more to Labour: 33%
Applies to both parties: 7%
Applies to neither of them: 27%
Don’t know: 9%

It seems to appeal to one section of society rather than to the whole country
Applies more to the Conservatives: 36%
Applies more to Labour: 19%
Applies to both parties: 26%
Applies to neither of them: 10%
Don’t know: 9%

And something uplifting – Tories have managed to ditch their toxic connotations…?

It seems to have succeeded in moving on and left its past behind it
Applies more to the Conservatives: 29%
Applies more to Labour: 22%
Applies to both parties: 7%
Applies to neither of them: 32%
Don’t know: 10%
