In todays newspapers they are forecasting that Labour will be the big winner with Ed Miliband's party set to record its biggest share of the vote in council polls for around a decade. The Liberal Democrats could lose around 600 seats in Thursday's poll - a third of all those currently held by Nick Clegg's party which are being contested.
A loss on this scale - together with a failure to win the referendum on changing to the Alternative Vote (AV) system, also being held on Thursday - could be enough to prompt behind-the-scene discussions about how long Mr Clegg can continue at the party's helm.He has already faced criticism from some activists over a U-turn on big increases in university tuition fees and support for Government spending cuts.
Chris Huhne, the Climate Change Secretary, is suspected by fellow ministers of being "on manoeuvres" as a possible alternative leader. There is also talk of 're-branding' the Lib/dems in a desperate bid to regain ground.
