Poll shows Lib Dems ahead of Labour

A new ComRes poll for ITN/The Independent  also shows the Lib Dems up an impressive and potentially game-changing 8%, with the Tories down four points and Labour down two since an equivalent poll taken the night before the debate.

That leaves just four points between all three main parties - with the Tories on 31%, the Lib Dems on 29% and Labour on 27%. Repeating last night's YouGov numbers, this poll shows the race has been blown wide open by the first televised debate on Thursday.

Translated to the election on a uniform swing, the new poll would deliver a hung parliament, with Labour as the largest party on 278 seats, the Tories on 238 and the Lib Dems on 103, according to the UK Polling Report.

64% of people agree with the statement that "regardless of how I vote, Nick Clegg should play some part in the next government."
