With less than ten days to go to the election, the pundits are already starting to look back and take stock of how the campaigns have gone.

The Tories have just come out of what’s been billed the ‘wobbly weekend’, with a number of the party’s donors and candidates criticising the party’s campaign and Boris Johnson appearing to be angling himself to succeed David Cameron on the Andrew Marr sofa, saying he would be ‘honoured’ to succeed Cameron.

The Miliband camp won’t be much cheerier. Despite everything – the debate successes, the perceived weakness of the Tories’ campaign and their lead in the ground war – the Tories’ poll lead continues to narrow and now Labour are often behind in some polls. This doesn’t look set to change between now and the election and the Tory vote often spikes on voting day – as Labour learned to their peril in 1992. A TNS poll from this morning’s Herald also shows the SNP increasing its lead over Labour in Scotland, which would leave the party with just one seat left.

This morning’s YouGov poll continues the retrospective theme, asking voters about the visibility of party leaders. Miliband came out on top (but is all publicity is good publicity?) with 30% of voters saying they’d seen a lot of him and when you include those who say they have seen him ‘a fair amount’ of him, he reaches 70% overall. Curiously second place is a tie – Nicola Sturgeon is second when ranked by leaders that voters have seen ‘a lot’ of, with 24% to Cameron’s 22% – but Cameron edges it when you account for those voters who say they’ve seen ‘a fair amount’, with 63% to Sturgeon’s 60%.

Worryingly for Cameron, Nigel Farage is also clipping his heels on 61%, quite incredible for a minor party who at best will win a handful of seats. These numbers are perhaps a reflection of Cameron’s decision not to take part in some of the televised debates.

The results will be most worrying for Nick Clegg and Natalie Bennett, both of whom are worryingly low – Clegg achieves just 8% of voters saying they’ve seen ‘a lot of him’ and Bennett just 5%. Including those who’ve seen ‘a fair amount’ of them, Clegg gets just 42% and a measly 27% for Bennett.

Overall the polls continue to show a dead heat – when the recent polls are averaged out, you find Labour and the Tories on 33% apiece, with UKIP averaging about 15%, the Lib Dems 9% and the Green are on 5%.

Despite the retrospection, with 10 days to go the leaders will be actively planning, not just for May 7th, but the day that might really decide the election – May 8th.
