Tories lead over Labour slashed

The Tories' lead over Labour has been slashed to just one point in the latest poll.

The ComRes survey for The Independent put the Conservatives down two since last month on 37% and Labour up five on 36%, suggesting the "Brown bounce" is still on track. The Liberal Democrats were up one on 17%.

If repeated in a general election, the findings would apparently give Labour a small majority because of imbalances in the UK's first-past-the-post electoral system.
