Lib Dems enjoy polls surge

There was more evidence of a huge surge in Liberal Democrat support tonight - with one poll suggesting the party had taken the lead in a UK general election campaign for the first time in living memory.

Research by BPIX for Mail on Sunday put the Lib Dems on 32% – a bounce of 12% over the past week. The Tories were down seven points on 31%, while Labour dropped three to 28%.
