Ipsos MORI's October Monitor

Share

MORI's October poll has topline figures, with changes from their last poll, of CON 45%(-7), LAB 30%(+6), LDEM 14%(+2). It was conducted between the 17th and 19th October.

There are huge changes from their last poll which was conducted in mid-September. It is hard to read anything into them though, since that poll was the rather freakish one with Conservatives on 52% and the Lib Dems on 12%. It was a far higher Conservative share than any other poll in September and - as I said at the time - probably a freak.

Still, even putting last month's poll aside it's still a very healthy boost for Labour since the summer when MORI had them languishing on 24%, but the Conservative level of support remains in the mid 40s and their lead in double figures. Meanwhile, despite coming back two points from last month's strange poll, the Lib Dems are still at a comparatively low 14%.
