    No winners in poll of polls as Tories, Labour and Liberal Democrats fail to seize initiative

    The Independent's survey shows it has not been a good year for the three main Westminster parties

    The Conservatives have halved Labour's opinion poll lead over the last year, while support for the UK Independence Party has slowly ebbed away from a dramatic peak in the spring, The Independent's latest poll of polls discloses on Tuesday.

    As the political parties enter 2014, the findings will provide David Cameron with grounds for cautious optimism that the Tories can claw back the narrowing Labour advantage by the time of next year's general election.

    A weighted average of last month's polls puts the Conservatives on 33 per cent (up one point since December 2012), Labour on 38 per cent (down three), the Liberal Democrats on 10 per cent (down one) and Ukip also on 10 per cent (up two).

    Labour's lead under Ed Miliband was nine points at the turn of last year and grew to 13 points by February, but stands on Tuesday at just five points.
