Liberal Democrats ahead on the ground battle
A year closer to the general election, on-the-ground campaigns are gradually ramping up. The proportion of people who recall receiving leaflets or seeing adverts from the main parties is on the rise. In seats contested between Labour and the Conservatives the level of campaigning seems quite closely matched.
Despite Labour’s fears that the Conservatives are outspending them in marginal seats; the amount of activity that the public actually recall is quite similar with respondents reporting having experienced only slightly more Conservative than Labour activity.
The level of activity in seats contested between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats is much higher though, and there is much more of a gap between the parties. Respondents are far more likely to recall having received literature or seen adverts from the Liberal Democrats than the Conservatives.
