Opinium/Observer - CON 33, LAB 33, LD 7, UKIP 14, GRN 7

Last week Opinium's Observer poll was conducted prior to the Paxman interview, so I wasn't sure whether the poll from them tonight would be "post-debate" or not. In the event it is - conducted on Friday and late on Thursday night.

As with Survation's poll yesterday there is no sign of any significant post-debate shift in voting intention, with topline figures of CON 33%(-1), LAB 33%(nc), LDEM 7%(-1), UKIP 14%(+1), GRN 7%(nc). Full tabs are here.

Asked who won they think won the debate 20% of people who claimed they saw at least some of it said Nicola Sturgeon won, followed by Cameron on 17% and Miliband on 15%. Leader ratings show some movement, but not quite as dramatic as those in Survation's poll (that may be a result of question wording - Opinium ask a general question about how the leaders are doing, Survation ask specifically about how they've been doing in the last month). David Cameron's rating here is unchanged on plus 1, Miliband is up

six points on minus 15, Nick Clegg is up ten points on minus 30, Nigel Farage is up eleven on minus 13.
