ICM/Guardian - CON 42, LAB 42, LDEM 7
ICM's fortnightly poll for the Guardian has topline figures of CON 42%(+1), LAB 42%(+1), LDEM 7%(nc). As with other recent polls there is no sign of any obvious movement. The national polling position appears to be largely stable, the government may be struggling with Brexit, Theresa May's approval figures may be falling, but voting intention is pretty static. The two main parties are both around 40%, with most polls showing a small Labour lead (ICM tend to produce the best figures for the Tories - hence the neck-and-neck figures in their most recent polls).
Today's ICM poll also asked a couple questions about a "no deal" Brexit. 45% of people said they expected the Brexit negotiations will not conclude successfully (though I haven't yet seen the wording of the question, so I don't know if the question defined unsuccessful as meaning no deal at all, or included poor deals), only 30% expect them to be a success. ICM also asked how people would feel if Britain and the EU failed to reach agreement by the time Britain leaves the EU - the most common answers were those connected with doubt and trepidation - "worried" (50%) and "confused" (29%), followed by the more negative "furious" (24%) and the more positive "pleased" (14%).
