ComRes pours a little cold water on to Tory heads

The Tory lead is down to 11% in tomorrow's poll for The Independent.

Earlier, however, in a preview of the poll Andy Grice noted that the poll also finds that "The Tories are more trusted than Labour to decide where the expected public spending cuts should be made."

One observation from me: If you put ComRes' figures into UK Polling Report's Election Calculator you get the Tories 3 short of a majority.  If you reverse the figures and put Labour on 36% and us on 25% you get a Labour majority of 116.  Sorting the unfair electoral system has got to be a Tory priority.
