Big rumours doing the rounds that tonight's ITV/NOP poll will not be welcome in Transport House - Welsh Labour's HQ or in the Tory camp in Penlline Road. But in Ty Gwynfor? Will Plaid eyes be smiling this time?

Well...the suspense is killing me!

Well this poll is interesting! Although it doesn't account for the people who aren't sure they are going to vote yet.

i was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that the 'Wales 60' seem to have disappeared.

i thought they were a bit rubbish anyway but wonder why they seem to have been pulled...? any ideas?

on another matter.. there seems to be quite a bit of good news in Wales today (NHS targets, crime figures down)- though none of it reported as anything to do with Labour Government in Wales. Of course not.. the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is paranoid about the other parties acusing it of being partisan...as if!

any views Betsan?

A big turn-around for Plaid in this poll compared with the last, three weeks ago. They've jumped ahead of the Tories to remain the official opposition. There was talk of Dai Davies losing his seat in South Wales West region, but perhaps it's all to play for..........
A day is a long time in politics. Three weeks is an adage!!!

Labour = 32% (-6%) 25 seats
Plaid = 26% (+16%) 15 seats
Tories = 19% (-4%) 10 seats
Libs = 15% (nc) 8 seats
Others 2 seats

Brackets are change since last ITV poll

Can any of these polls be trusted!

First we have 'Tories making big gains.'
Now we get 'Plaid making in-roads.'

I despise this cliche but 'the only poll that counts is the one on May 3rd.'

Personally, I can see Plaid and the Tories gaining 5-7 seats and, of course, Labour losing out (less than 25 seats!) I also think the Lib dems will lose as they seem to be running the most lack-lustre campaign.

I think Ross Thomas is referring to Dai Lloyd for Plaid in South Wales West (Dai Davies is the People's Voice Blaenau Gwent MP).

Surely, Guto, Plaid's share of the vote on the ITV/NOP poll has risen by 6%, not 16%?

I don't see how you can possibly attempt to translate those results into seats, though - far too many local factors around Wales.

'ianjamesjohnson' - yes, sorry, I was referring to Dr. Dai Lloyd!!! When talking with Betsan in person the other day I called him Dai Davies as well.

And re. The Wales 60 having disappeared.. I am also still here. You need to be looking around the media of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ... online website, radio, TV. I was on Radio Five Live yesterday afternoon.

The Wales 60 certainly haven't disappeared. If anything, they've been more active than ever, here:

The Wales 60 live on....
