The Conservatives' lead over Labour is even stronger in the knife-edge seats where the general election will be decided than in the rest of the country, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted in 30 of the most marginal seats in the country, put David Cameron's party on 44%, a massive 24 points ahead of Labour on 20%, with the Liberal Democrats on 18%.
This compares with a YouGov poll for the Daily Telegraph on Friday which gave the Tories a 14-point lead across the country as a whole, with 41% against Labour's 27%.
The latest poll by Crosby/Textor/Pepper was conducted for the aviation lobbying group FlyingMatters and obtained by the Sunday Telegraph.
It found that voters in marginal seats overwhelmingly choose the economy as the most important issue for the Government, followed by health and education.
