In his election blog, Sir Bob Worcester, an opinion pollster, reports receiving a call from the New Statesman, a left-wing weekly.

Although the polls suggest that Labour's professional middle-class support is holding up better than the Tories' (the anti-immigration stuff makes them feel queasy), that's not the way it seems at dinner parties. Among Britain's leftish liberal elite, it's a struggle to find anyone these days who doesn't see it as a badge of honour to declare their loathing for Tony Blair and their intention to vote Liberal Democrat.
