But YouGov show lead rising to 7

Sky News have also got the figures for tonight's YouGov poll. After a slow decline in the Conservative lead over the last few weeks tonight's has it bouncing back up. The topline figures with changes from their Thursday poll are CON 38%(+2), LAB 31%(-1), LDEM 19%(-1) - meaning that YouGov and ICM's figures are now very close to indentical.

The changes themself are within the margin of error, but it is the largest lead that YouGov have recorded since the beginning of the month, and perhaps a sign that the focus on Unite is moving the tide back in the Conservatives' favour. I will add my normal caveat that one should always be cautious of sudden changes in polls: until we see YouGov's figures on Monday we can't tell whether the gap is widening again, or whether it is just sample error.

More to come later when the Sunday Times story goes up and the other questions in the poll are published. I've still no confirmation on whether there is a ComRes tonight or not.
