Ipsos MORI/Standard - CON 32, LAB 35, LDEM 13, UKIP 11
The monthly Ipsos MORI poll for the Standard is out today and has topline voting intention figures of CON 32%(+1), LAB 35%(-3), LDEM 13%(+1), UKIP 11%(+1). Full tabs are here.
There's quite a lot of other stuff in this month's poll. 47% of people now think that the government is doing a good job managing the economy, 46% a bad job (compared to 36% good, 55% bad when MORI asked by in 2011), there is also a big shift in the government's favour on unemployment, 44% now think they are doing well at keeping unemployment down, up from 15% in 2011. However, there is still a perception that the rich are benefiting more than others. 73% think the government have done a good job of raising the standard of living for the rich, but only 19% think they've done the same for the poor (for respondents themselves, 30% think the government have done a good job of improving their standard of living).
MORI also asked about which party they think deserves the most credit for the £10,000 personal tax allowance - something that the Conservatives and Lib Dems have been arguing over taking the credit for and which in hindsight I'm rather surprised no one has asked before. 45% of people give the Lib Dems credit for it, compared to 33% who give the Tories the credit.
