If the current results of our latest poll are anything to go by, David Cameron and friends will be celebrating big time on Thursday night.
In the survey asking members who they plan on voting for in the local elections, an overwhelming majority pick the Tories. Interestingly, the second most popular choice is 'will note vote'.
Labour trails in joint fifth with the Green Party behind the Liberal Democrats and 'Other' parties.
If these results are mirrored in the real election then it would be a huge blow for the government.
While of course we acknowledge our poll is far from scientific, it does indicate that several of Labour's actions over the past year have hugely damaged its relationship with the small business community.
Controversy over capital gains tax reform and a hike in corporation tax has been added to recently with revelations that the Treasury is considering revising its controversial income shifting and news released yesterday that a new business-government forum on tax excludes small businesses.
Gordon Brown and co clearly have a lot to do to win back the support of entrepreneurs.
The election poll is open for the rest of today and I urge you to take part.
