A 20-point lead for the Tories

Here at the headline numbers from the latest Ipsos-MORI poll:

Conservatives — 48 percent (up 4 percentage points)
Labour — 28 percent (down 2)
Lib Dems — 17 percent (no change)

Aside from the hefty Tory lead, the unchanged Lib Dem position is worth noting – especially in view of the astonishing gains they’ve been making in other recent polls.  I haven’t seen any below-headline findings yet, but will report back if there’s anything interesting.

P.S. The last time the Tories had a 20-point lead (or above) was back in September.
