New YouGov and ComRes polls

Share

Two new polls tonight. YouGov have topline figures of CON 40%, LAB 42%, LDEM 8%. It's a smaller Labour lead than usual, but I'd be surprised if this didn't turn out to be an outlier from the normal Labour lead of 5% or so - time will tell.

Secondly we have a ComRes phone poll showing figures of CON 34%(nc), LAB 43%(+1), LDEM 10%(-2). Changes are from the last ComRes poll conducted on the telephone at the beginning of January, and show no significant change beyond the margin of error - though, for the record, this the biggest Labour lead ComRes have recorded since the general election.

Interestingly we have something of a contrast between pollsters now - ICM and YouGov have Labour leads of around 4/5 points (assuming today's YouGov turns out to be something of an outlier), Angus Reid and MORI have Labour leads of 10 points or more, ComRes has a Labour lead almost as large.
