New YouGov and TNS-BMRB polls

A quick update on the latest voting intention polling. TNS-BMRB's weekly poll has topline figures of CON 29%(-2), LAB 38%(-3), LD 11%(+1), UKIP 12%(+2), Others 10% (changes are from a week ago).

Meanwhile this morning's YouGov poll for the Sun had topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 41%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 8%.

This morning's Times had some claims about polling conducted by UKIP in Eastleigh. I would advise totally ignoring any claims about "private polling" from political parties unless they cough up the tables so you can see if they were playing a straight bat. More often than not party claims about their "polling" in elections actually means their canvas returns. I've dropped a line to the various polling companies just to check none of them have any tables to release under the BPC disclosure rules, but thus far no one seems to have done anything.
