How do things stand as we enter the final straight of the local elections?

Campaigning across England, Scotland and Wales is entering its final stretch.  In Wales, the Welsh Labour Party will be bolstered by another poll – by Savanta ComRes – showing its vote share growing both on 2016 but, equally importantly, compared to some of the jaw-droppingly bad polls from earlier in the campaign. In a way, though, that is the least surprising part of these elections: most voters think that Mark Drakeford, the First Minister, has handled the pandemic well, and that the Welsh government has handled the pandemic better than the Westminster government in England. What looks to be happening in Wales is the familiar election-time story: that the polls are moving in the direction of the candidate with the higher approval ratings and the one judged to have best handled the issue of the day.
