Will the Liberal Democrats avoid being wiped out at the upcoming election? In his latest round of constituency polling, Lord Ashcroft has revisited eight Liberal Democrat marginal constituencies he deems to be close races. Across all the seats, Ashcroft reports there is presently a four per cent swing to the Tories since the last election. Use the interactive chart to see the polls for each constituency.
The picture is mixed for the Lib Dems. In four of the seats — North Cornwall, St Ives, Torbay and Cambridge — they are on track to hold the seats, despite swings to the Conservatives. But the Tories are ahead in two Lib Dem seats: St Austell & Newquay and North Devon, although the Conservatives are ahead by just one point. In the Tory-held ultra-marginal Camborne & Redruth, Ashcroft has found that the Conservatives have consolidated their position and are likely to hold it, after taking it from the Lib Dems in 2010.
