@LordAshcroft poll finds LAB doing better in key CON-LAB battlegrounds than country as whole. 8.5% swing as opposed to 6.5% one — Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) September 15, 2013

CON lead in LD battlegrounds just 1% up since GE2015

@LordAshcroft poll One in 4 LAB supporters ready to switch to LDs in CON-LD battlegrounds when specific constituency question asked — Mike Smithson (@MSmithsonPB) September 15, 2013

The 12,500 sample poll was carried out by phone in early August at a time when EdM’s party was beginning to struggle nationally.

Two voting intention questions were put in order to tease out views about the specific seats.

The first was the standard one while the second asked specifically about their own constituency.

This is just a quick summary. I haven’t studied the detailed data yet.
