Sky News has a poll of LibDem members and – as noted yesterday evening within this post – it shows a modest lead for Nick Clegg among the half to have already voted. These findings from the poll interested me most…
"Nearly half of members polled (49%) prefer Gordon Brown as Prime Minister than David Cameron (18%) and would prefer to side with Labour rather than the Conservatives in the event of a ‘hung parliament’. 44% would oppose a coalition with the Tories under any circumstances, while only 26% would oppose a similar deal with Labour."
