The chart shows views of those in LAB/CON and LD-held seats and highlights the split between those who say they will vote for their incumbent (supporters) and those who won't (opponents).
As can be seen there was a markedly different response pattern from those in CON and LAB held seats and those in LD ones. Even opponents in the latter had a net negative of just 4.4%.
Another interesting finding was whether voters knew the name of their MP. Of those with Labour MPs, under 70% knew his/her while for Tories, the figure was just over 70%. But of those with LD MPs, the name recognition level was 82%.
This knowledge isn't new, and the Lib Dem incumbency bonus is about to be tested like never before, but knowing that our MPs are so highly thought of is a definite advantage as we enter the fight of our lives.
