MORI too show a post-PBR boost for the Tories

Following on from ICM's poll on Saturday, Sunday's Observer also features a poll showing an increase in Conservative support following the PBR. The Ipsos MORI poll has topline figures, with changes from MORI's last poll conducted a fortnight ago, of CON 43%(+3), LAB 32%(-5), LDEM 15%(+3).

MORI's previous poll, as you may remember, famously showed the Conservative lead cut down to only 3 points. That may have been something of an outlier - the Lib Dem figure of only 12% was particularly difficult to believe - and hence the very large shift in this poll may be exaggered, but all the same it suggests a swing back towards the Conservatives since the PBR.

There don't seem to be any fieldwork dates in the Observers coverage of the poll, though it does make clear it was conducted after the PBR.
