Have the Tories hit 50 percent?

UK Polling Report’s Anthony Wells is reporting a rumour that the Tories could have broken the 50 percent mark in tomorrow’s MORI poll.  The (very much unconfirmed) figures have the Tories at 52 percent, Labour at 24 percent and the Lib Dems at 12 percent.  That would give the Tories a hefty lead of 28 percent – which is significantly up on the 20-ish point leads they’ve enjoyed recently, and can only pile more pressure on Brown.  Watch this space.

UPDATE: Poll results confirmed.
