ComRes/Indy on Sunday - CON 37, LAB 40, LD 10

The monthly online ComRes poll for the Sunday Indy and Sunday Mirror is out tonight and has topline figures, with changes from ComRes's last online poll a month ago, of CON 37%(-2), LAB 40%(+2), LDEM 10%(nc), Others 13%(nc). The shift towards Labour backs up what we've seen in the recent YouGov daily polls, of Labour pulling into a small lead after a period of being neck and neck.

A small methodology note, ComRes have been experimenting with some tweaks to how they deal with likelihood to vote. Looking at the full tabs here, ComRes appear to have changed the way they filter by likelihood to vote for smaller parties. For people who say they will vote for Con, Lab or Lib Dem they are still including everyone who rates their chances of voting at 5/10 or more, but for smaller parties like UKIP, BNP and Greens they are only including those who say they are 10/10 certain to vote.

UPDATE: Tonight's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 38%, LAB 40%, LDEM 9%. I will put up a full report tomorrow.
