Three constituency polls show Lib Dem vote up very sharply in key seats
Three constituency polls commissioned by The Observer are out, all in heavily Remain areas and all showing a massive growth in Liberal Democrat support.
In all three cases, it looks too that tactical voting by erstwhile Labour supporters may well be key to the result. How much do they want to defeat the Conservatives in those constituencies?
Finchley and Golders Green
This is the seat being fought by Luciana Berger, which has already been polled once for this campaign. The new poll shows:
Finchley & Golders Green constituency voting intention:

LDEM: 32% (+25)
LAB: 19% (-25)via @DeltapollUK, 07 – 13 Nov

To get that message out to Labour voters in those seats, of course, Lib Dems choosing also to target their campaigning in such seats is important.
