Communicate show Labour down to 27%

Communicate Research's monthly poll for the Independent shows Labour at their lowest level for decades - the last polls I can find with Labour this low are from September 1983. The headline voting intention figures, with changes from last month are CON 36%(+1), LAB 27%(-4), LDEM 22%(+2). The poll was conducted between April 20th and April 22nd.

Last month Communicate started weighted their polls by past vote, so in theory at least (I haven't yet seen the details of how they are weighting their polls) they should no longer be as volatile as they have been in the past. ICM's monthly poll for the Guardian and YouGov's poll for the Telegraph are also both due in the near future. If they show a simialr drop in support for Labour then next month's elections could be very unpleasant for the government.
