Angus Reid show Tory lead unchanged on 16

Political Betting has a new Angus Reid poll, the topline figures are almost unchanged from their previous poll with CON 40%(nc), LAB 24%(nc), LDEM 19%(-1). The company have shown Labour and the Conservatives unchanged in their last three polls, and continue to show a signficantly lower level of Labour support than other polling companies - a difference at least partially explained by weighting past Labour voters to a lower level.

The poll was conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday, so is the first poll conducted after the announcement of the end of the recession. It's only one straw in the wind, and we should have several polls coming up in the next week or so, but this first signal suggests it is still business as usual.
