New Yougov poll - UPDATED

There is a new YouGov poll in this mornings Telegraph. Topline voting intentions are CON 39%(-2), LAB 23%(+1), LDEM 19%(nc). The "others" are made up of 6% for UKIP(nc), BNP 4%(nc), Green 4%(+1), SNP/PC 4%(nc).

For Europe voting intentions stand at CON 26%(-2), LAB 21(+2), LDEM 14(-5), UKIP 16(-3), BNP 7%(+4). The Green figure wasn't given it in the Telegraph, but they were mentioned as being ahead of the BNP. Notably this is the first poll to show the BNP gaining any sort of significant boost from the expenses row (judging by the maths, I'd expect it to also show the Greens benefiting). From early polls that showed UKIP were almost the sole beneficary of the expenses scandal, other minor parties now appear to be reaping the rewards.

The poll was conducted between the 14th and 16th of May, so just two days after the previous YouGov poll. Normally my instinct would be to say that public opinion doesn't shift so quickly, so any movement is likely to be just sample error. In these circumstances, public opinion is obviously very volatile. The net result however is much the same - we are awash with European voting intention polls, opinion seems to be rapidly shifting, and we should probably just take the broad view of the polls.

Looking at the other questions in the poll, David Cameron continues to come out of the scandal far more positively than Gordon Brown. 54% of respondents thought he had acted more decisively, compared to 12% for Brown.

Questions on expenses themselves revealed the pattern of anger and desire for retribution we've seen elsewhere. 86% thought there was a widespread problem, 64% thought MPs who had made mistakes should face prosection, 64% thought they should be deselected even if they had paid back the money.

YouGov also asked about the Speaker - 54% said he should resign, with only 13% saying he should stay.

(While I'm here I should also point out something that isn't a new YouGov poll. The Scottish Sunday Express printed up the cross-break from the YouGov/Sun poll yesterday. This had a sample size of only 178, and would not have been weighted specifically to Scottish demographics, so won't be a good guide to voting intentions at all. As with all small regional cross-breaks in individual polls, it's best ignored).

UPDATE: The full tables are here, and support for the Green party in the European elections stands at 9%. The Christian Party/CPA are on 1%, as are Libertas.
