New ComRes and YouGov polls

Share

There are two new polls tonight, both with good news for the Conservatives, though neither are particularly significant in themselves.

ComRes's monthly telephone poll for the Independent has topline figures of CON 37%(nc), LAB 36%(-2), LDEM 12%(+1), Others 15%. The changes from the last ComRes telephone poll at the start of the month are not significant in themselves, but it's the first time that ComRes have shown the Conservatives ahead since October last year.

Meanwhile the daily YouGov poll in the Sun has topline figures of CON 39%, LAB 41%, LDEM 8%. In the last week YouGov's daily poll has had a very steady six point lead for Labour, it's been three weeks since it was as low as two points. I'll urge my usual caution about polls showing movement - sure, it could be the start of a trend, but it could also just be normal sample error.
