I am very surprised they put Cameron ahead. I guess it's not by much but I would have put Brown or Clegg ahead because as the debate went on Cameron seemed more and more marginal and quiet.

YouGov: David Cameron 36%, Nick Clegg 32%, Gordon Brown 29%

Guardian live blog poll: Clegg 63.8%, Brown 28.4%, Cameron: 7.7% (although obviously, as they admit themselves, "it's a self-selecting audience" ;) )

Channel 4 live blog poll: Nick Clegg 52%, Gordon Brown 31%, David Cameron 17%

Ignore the Guardian poll because, it's the Guardian :D (I am a reader though).

Channel 4 is interesting. I wouldn't put Cameron that far behind.

Yup, 10 years & no criminal record (apart from being, well, an illegal immigrant of course).

That's actually longer than the cut-off in the amnesty proposed by Boris: 5 years.

Well, as they said "self selecting audience". Not going to find too many people who support Cameron using the Guardian website! :D

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 2
 

I disagree. Cameron was more focused and didn't really get entwined with the bickering between Clegg and Brown.

ITV.com Fun Poll: Nick Clegg 47%; Gordon Brown 41%; David Cameron 12% :)

But it's a debate, he is meant to interact. He did what he did last week, it took the format of a political speech and looked unnatural. The debate might be a stupid format though, but his best moment what calling Brown out on the leaflets.

COMRES

Clegg: 33%. Brown and Cameron on 30%.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 2
 

Funny how this week we had Cameron saying "I agree with Gordon" (twice?), instead of Brown saying "I agree with Nick".

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 2
 

The winner gets some momentum in the news cycle that follows. Clegg did well but the 24 hours of "Clegg wins the debate" stories would have had a bigger impact than the debate itself IMO.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 2
 

Well I suppose we'd at least be able to show just how ineffectual the immigration system has been in recent years by finding out just how many people have lived here illegally for a decade or more.... Perhaps that's why Brown doesn't want one - it'd expose all the rhetoric and ineptitude of his pathetic party.
