UK Election 2010: ICM And YouGov Post Election Polls
There are two post election polls in tomorrow’s papers.
A YouGov poll in the Sunday Times found 62% think that Gordon Brown should concede defeat, wih 28% thinking he is right to wait to see if the Conservative and Liberal Democrat negotiations fail.
Asked who should form the next government 48% of respondents thought there should be either a Conservative minority or a Con/LD coalition. 31% favoured a Lab/LD agreement.
62% said they supported a change to a more proportional system, with only 13% supporting FPTP.
You can get a lot of variation in FPRP v PR survey questions depending upon how the question is asked, but if this question is a repeat of one of YouGov’s previous electoral reform questions it is probably a big jump in support for electoral reform.
ICM also have post-election poll.
They found similar preferences on who should form the government, 51% wanted a Conservative minority (18%) or Conservative/LD coalition (33%) and 32% wanted a Lab/LD coalition.
ICM however found considerably less support for electoral reform – 48% supported PR, but 39% supported sticking with FPTP.
There were 75 seats where the Conservative share of the vote fell.
The final results in Great Britain are CON 37%, LAB 30%, LDEM 24%, Others 10%.
