The opinion polls between 1983 and 1987, and 1987 and 1992 paint a surprisingly similar picture. I really wouldn't set too much hope against polls being issued a full four-and-a-half years ahead of the next general election.

Also don't forget that the LD vote has collapsed with the majority of those going to Labour, and at the next election there will be no third party for a protest vote.
If the Conservatives could not win an outright victory with Brown as PM, a recession and a government that had been in power for thirteen years I don't fancy their chances after the cuts that are to come.

The SDP/Liberal Alliance weren't an effective third party in the 80s either.
