Labour unscathed in new YouGov poll

Share

Finally confirmed - YouGov's daily poll for the Sun is confirmed as showing topline figures of CON 39%(nc), LAB 33%(nc), LDEM 17%(nc). So no shift at all from the poll conducted on Friday - the figures reported last night elsewhere across the internet seem to have been based solely upon Twitter rumours - it does not, to say the least, seem to be a particularly sound source for polling info.

The poll was conducted between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon, so entirely after Andrew Rawnsley allegations about "Bully Brown" had hit the media. So has, it clearly hasn't damaged Labour though it is perhaps too early to conclude that it won't - the story was still all over the media last night. One thing that daily polling may help us to understand over time is exactly the timescale over which events events impact voting intention.
