Newsnight has made a bold attempt at actually commissioning some polling to try and shed some light on whether there will be substantial immigration to Britain from Bulgaria and Romania once restrictions are lifted at the end of this year, commissioning polls from Vitosha in Bulgaria and Gallup in Romania
I haven't had chance to do my normal round of the YouGov/Sunday Times poll today. For the record the topline figures are CON 32%, LAB 40%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 10%, so another single digit Labour lead following those earlier in the week. Also out this weekend were
The fortnightly Opinium poll for the Observer has topline figures of CON 29%(+1), LAB 35%(-3), LDEM 8%(nc), UKIP 17(+1). I am always extremely cautious about reading movements into polls - more often than not they turn out to be no more than the result of random
Yesterday saw a cracking example of poor newspaper reporting of polls and a worthy recipient of the much sought after "UKPR crap media reporting of polls award". Regular readers will recall Ipsos MORI's monthly poll for the Standard, which showed topline figures of CON 29%, LAB
The monthly Ipsos MORI poll for the Evening Standard is out today and has topline voting intention figures of CON 29%(+2), LAB 38%(-2), LDEM 10%(-1), UKIP 15%(+2). Full tabs are here. The poll also repeated some questions on whether Ed Miliband was ready to be PM,
This morning's YouGov poll in the Sun had topline figures of CON 33%, LAB 40%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 11%. I wasn't going to write anything because - at end of the day, there are only so many ways you can write "within the normal margin
The monthly ICM poll for the Guardian is out tonight. Topline voting intentions stand at CON 32%(+1), LAB 38%(-1), LDEM 15%(nc), UKIP 9%(+2). The Labour lead of only six points is significantly lower than other polls are showing (indeed, it's the lowest we'
YouGov's weekly results for the Sunday Times are now up online here. Current voting intentions are CON 31%, LAB 42%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 11% - typical of late, and no signs of any "Thatcher effect", positive or negative. 46% of people think Thatcher was a great
The monthly ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror is out tonight and has topline figures of CON 30%(+2), LAB 38%(+1), LDEM 8%(-1), UKIP 15%(-2). The figures don't show any significant change from a month ago. The only other poll I
This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 28%, LAB 42%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 11%. The Conservative figure is the lowest YouGov have shown since the election... though normal caveats apply, almost by definition record breaking polls are the ones that turn out to
This morning's Sun has YouGov's first polling on perceptions of Thatcher since her death - full results are here. The majority of people think Thatcher was a great or good Prime Minister (indeed, 28% see her as the greatest of Britain's post war Prime
I expect there will be a lot of polling on Thatcher in the days to come, but ICM are first out of the stalls with a snap poll conducted this afternoon for the Guardian. As with other polling prior to her death, it shows a mainly positive rating... but a
