New ComRes poll

There is a new ComRes poll in tomorrow's Indy. Topline figures, with changes from their last poll a fortnight ago, are CON 40%(-1), LAB 24%(nc), LDEM 21%(+3).

So, an insignificant drop for the Conservatives, but a jump in Lib Dem support. That's the highest score for the Liberal Democrats in any poll since mid-July, also ComRes. The last time another pollster put them that high was all the way back at the end of May.

It's also the closest the Lib Dems have been to overtaking Labour for a while. This has threatened to happen several times this Parliament (and once or twice individual polls have indeed shown the Lib Dems in second place). In this case though, the Lib Dems are higher than they are in most other polls, and Labour are lower than they are in most other polls, so I'm going to resist getting all excited about it again!
