Blair set for third landslide as campaign wraps up

Blair set for third landslide as campaign wraps up

The final ITV News/Times tracker poll, published this morning, gave the Tories 27 per cent support, by far the lowest of the campaign. Labour was unchanged on 41 per cent, while the resurgent Liberal Democrats were up two point at 23.

Although that kind of support would see Labour's 2001 majority of 160 seats reduced, Mr Blair would still win an historic third successive term, possibly with a three-figure majority.


Wo. The race is for second place and the Lib Dems could actually top the Tories.

The Guardian offers aprint-out-and-keep guide to election night; subtract six hours to convert UK time to Iowegian. Should make for an interesting evening - we Colonists can check out the proceedings on C-SPAN. Hear, hear.
