It's all been checked by YouGov and by the way as a Labour voter in Wales it's going to be WAY worse for Labour than this :-( Hi Luke,

I know you guys are London Centric but just got some stats from Wales.

I know you like to be balanced…

EMBARGO: 11.30pm Monday, 26 October 2009

Results of the first YouGov poll in Wales

Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning the results of the first Welsh poll by YouGov – one the UK’s leading polling organisations – will be made public in a specially organised breakfast seminar in the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay. The results will be presented and analysed by Wales’s leading political analysts, Richard Wyn Jones Director of the Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University, and Prof. Roger Scully, Director of Aberystwyth University Institute of Welsh Politics.

Among the results……

Westminster voting intentions in Wales (change since 2005 general
election)
%
Labour 34 (-9)
Conservative 31 (+10)
Lib-Dems 12 (-2)
Plaid Cymru 15 (+2)
Others 7 (+2)
Q. If a general election were held tomorrow how would you vote?

If the swings implied by this poll are applied uniformly across Wales, the parties would win following number of MPs (change since 2005 in brackets)

Labour 20 (-9)
Conservative 12 (+9)
Lib-Dems 2 (-2)
Plaid Cymru 5 (+2)
Others 1

The predicted results:
* Represent the worst Labour vote share in Wales since 1918
(3.5% worse than in 1983)
* Would equal Tory vote share in 1983
* Would be Plaid’s best general election vote share and seat result ever

Richard Wyn Jones said:
“This poll serves to underline that the Conservatives are continuing to
make very significant progress in Wales. Having been wiped out
completely in 1997, they appear on course for one of their best ever
results at the next UK general election. For Labour, on the other hand, this is more dismal news from what was formerly its most staunch of heartland areas.”

According to Prof. Roger Scully, “Labour is clearly in very deep trouble in Wales as in the rest of Britain, and the party that is benefiting most from that is the Conservatives. And while Plaid Cymru can be moderately pleased by their showing, there are not making the same impact as their sister party, the SNP, is in Scotland.”
