Nick Clegg appeals to youth vote as Liberal Democrats maintain poll surge

Nick Clegg will launch a major campaign today to win the youth vote amid signs that young people are backing the Liberal Democrats in increasing numbers following last week's leaders' debate.

One poll gave Clegg's party a huge lead - 44 points - among those aged 18-34 compared with 28 for the Conservatives and 24 for Labour. Clegg knows that he will need to push for young people to register if he is to translate the support into votes on 6 May.
