New MORI Poll

Ipsos Mori have released a new poll conducted on behalf of Unison. Like ICM's poll last night, it's something of a return to normality after the extremes of last month. The topline figures, with changes from MORI's last poll, are CON 39% (-1), LAB 25% (+7), LDEM 19% (+1) (the previous poll, you may remember, showed Labour way down at only 18%)

The poll included a booster sample of public sector workers allowing MORI to better gauge public sector voting intentions - there support stood at CON 32%, LAB 29%, LDEM 19%. An idea I often see expressed is the public sector employees constitute a "payroll vote" who monolithically vote Labour. It's not true - public sector employees are more likely to vote Labour, but as this shows, it's not some sort of guaranteed block vote - at present the Conservatives even have a narrow lead.
