 9% swing to Tories in Marginal seats DAVID Cameron is storming towards a massive Tory win at the next general election, sweeping aside over 130 Labour MPs. An exclusive News of the World ICM poll today reveals the Tory leader would get a NINE PER CENT swing—the same as Tony Blair won with in 1997. The findings will put the Prime Minister under massive pressure—and mean that FOUR Cabinet ministers would lose their seats. The last time we ran our rule over the 145 marginal seats six months ago the results SCARED him so much he called off an early general election at the last minute. Then, in October, our ICM poll found Labour would lose 49 of the key seats. Now the number of predicted Labour losses has MORE THAN DOUBLED to a staggering ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE SEATS. It would give the Tories a healthy 64-seat majority and would see FOUR Labour Cabinet ministers booted out of the Commons. We found that working class voters in these crucial close-run seats are deserting New Labour in droves for the first time because of Brown's decision to scrap the 10p tax band which has caused him major political damage. And voters think Cameron is ahead in almost every area of the political battle—from setting taxes to the controversial war on terror. What makes it even worse is that the Tories have not yet even unveiled detailed policies in most of these areas. Voters simply believe the Tories' ideas can't be any worse than those of the current government. The poll shows Cameron well ahead as a LEADER. A total of 47 per cent of voters in the marginals think he would make the best Prime Minister, compared to only 34 per cent who back Brown. And that support for the PM falls to 29 PER CENT among working-class voters and pensioners who are likely to turn out in large numbers at the next election.
