ComRes/Indy on Sunday - CON 39%, LAB 38%, LDEM 10%

There is a new ComRes poll in the Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror tomorrow, if I recall correctly it's only the second non-YouGov of February given that all the other companies' fieldwork dates seem to have started clustering towards the end of the month.

Topline figures, with changes from ComRes's last online poll a month ago, are CON 39%(+1), LAB 38%(nc), LDEM 10%(-1), Others 13%(nc). The changes from the previous ComRes poll are insignificant, but for the record it's the first time ComRes's online polls have shown a Tory lead since October 2010 and supports the conclusion that the polls are pretty neck and neck.

UPDATE1: Hold the presses. ComRes's press release said the Conservatives were one point ahead, but the actual tables are here and it looks to me as if Labour are one point ahead (pages 19-21 of the pdf). Let me double check.

UPDATE2: Waiting for Andrew Hawkins to have a check of the tabs

UPDATE3: According to Andrew the topline figures were right, the tabs were wrong, so back to business as usual. Corrected versions of the tables should be up soon if not already there.
