LONDON (MNI) – A new YouGov poll for the Sun newspaper shows
Liberal Democrat support slipping back.

The daily poll shows the Liberal Democrat support at 28%, Labour at
29% and the Conservatives on 34%. A YouGov poll on April 20 showed
Liberal Democrat support at 34%, its highest level in this electoral
campaign.

The latest YouGov poll, nevertheless, still points to a hung
parliament with no party on course for an overall majority, with both
the other leading parties, Labour and Conservative, picking up LibDem
votes.

Released earlier than usual, the poll comes ahead of the second
leaders debate, scheduled for Thursday evening. Liberal Democrat support
surged after polls showed its leader, Nick Clegg, was widely perceived
to have won the first debate.

The following table shows the most recent polls, with the right
hand column showing the Conservatives’ lead over Labour.
