This Weeks Voters: 18,666
Total Voters: 59,528 (on April 17th at ~1:50pm)

You can see previous weeks results at https://general-election-2010.co.uk/weekly-general-election-poll-results/ and on Saturday I’ll compile the weekly results again.

Liberal Democrats got the most votes for the first time in this poll!

That’s a massive shift from last weeks ~16% to this weeks 37% of the vote from over 18,500 votes in the poll!!! Manipulating the poll with so many visitors (at least 100,000 visitors this week) would take a LOT of effort, so though I don’t see this being a 100% accurate result, the trend is clear, Lib Dems are doing very well now.

The live TV debate has made a big impact for Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems.

If these sorts of poll numbers turn into real votes on election day (I don’t see them gaining 37% of the vote at the election on May 6th) we are in for an interesting parliament for once.

Two more live TV debates to go, so things could change after those as well.
