Latest polls more bad news for Labour

The latest opinion polls this morning show the Tory lead growing as we approach the Crewe and Nantwich by election.

The latest You Gov poll in this mornings Sunday Times puts the Tories on 45%,Labour on 25% and the Lib Dems on 18%

This would give the Tories a majority of 150 if repaeted in a general election.

Meanwhile the News of the World carries an ICM poll in the Crewe and Nantwich by election which puts the Tories on 45% and Labour on 37%

The paper says

That's double the gap of a week ago—and if carried through to the ballot box on Thursday, it would give the Tories their first by-election GAIN in 26 years.
It's a devastasting blow for Brown and—says Nick Sparrow, managing director of pollsters ICM—leaves him "staring defeat in the face at the next general election".
adding

The poll also reveals almost half of voters think Brown's £2.7billion giveaway this week to compensate for scrapping the 10p tax rate was the RIGHT thing to do—but 59 per cent say it's still a BRIBE.
And an astonishing one in four say it has made them even LESS likely to vote Labour on Thursday
