Conservatives down 3 in today's YouGov poll

Share

The only poll I know of tonight is YouGov's daily poll in the Sun. The topline figures there are CON 37%(-3), LAB 31%(-1), LDEM 20%(+2). A fall for the Conservatives and I'll offer my normal caveat after any interesting changes in the polls: it's the trend that counts, so wait and see if it is repeated elsewhere. It could be a genuine shift, or it could be as transitory as the 5 point YouGov lead we had earlier in the week.

The additional questions today were a repeat of the "who is doing best in the campaign" questions that showed the Lib Dems doing so well when YouGov first asked them at the beginning of the campaign - after the first week the Conservatives come top - 32% think David Cameron had the best first week of the campaign, with Clegg and Brown equal on 16%. 25% think the Conservatives have been the most impressive in the campaign so far (16% think the Lib Dems have, with Labour last on 13%). Finally, 31% think David Cameron has been most successful in getting his message across, followed by Brown on 15% and Clegg on 13%.
