Poll puts Labour at 19-year national low

April 25, 2006 11:12 PM

Ld Poll BoostLib Dem support has surged by 3% while Labour's support among the public has slumped to its lowest level since the 1987 general election, according to a new poll. The Tories' position is the same as last month - meaning the real winners from Labour's slump are the Liberal Democrats.

An ICM survey for The Guardian finds Labour's has fallen to just 32 per cent - five points less than a month ago and two points less than the Conservative party.

New Lib Dem leader Menzies Campbell has seen their support rising three percentage points on the month to 24 per cent.

In addition, while Tory leader David Cameron has managed to persuade 22 per cent of voters that he means what he says on the environment, the most popular green choice are still the Lib Dems, on 29 per cent. Labour is trailing on this issue, with 17 per cent.

In Shepway, Labour no longer have a single councillor and slumped to just 13% of the vote in the 2005 General Election.
