With 100 days until the U.K. general election, Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives took the lead in three polls, while opposition leader Ed Miliband returned his campaign focus to the National Health Service.
ComRes Ltd. and Survation both put the Tories at 31 percent support and Labour at 30 percent, and YouGov gave the Conservatives the edge with 34 percent to 33 percent, suggesting the race to the May 7 vote remains on a knife edge. Labour had a lead of as much as 10 points a year ago.
