The Boris bandwagon rolls on, and an ICM poll for the Sunday Telegraph tonight apparently has another question trying to measure whether the Conservatives would do better with Boris Johnson as leader. There are two things to consider with hypothetical "who would you vote for if X was leader&
There are two new polls tonight, neither of which show any real change. The daily YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 33%, LAB 42%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 9% (the 11% for the Lib Dems yesterday was, indeed, just a blip). There is also a new Opinium
Tonight's YouGov results for the Sun are CON 33%, LAB 42%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 6%. The eleven points for the Liberal Democrats is at the top end for YouGov's normal range, but are nothing to get excited about unless they are sustained. YouGov had them at
Today's YouGov poll for the Sun is a rather unexciting CON 34%, LAB 44%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 6%. The overwhelming majority of the poll was carried out before Nick Clegg's statement this afternoon. It will be interesting to see what impact it has, if any. I
Given a lot of people have asked me the same questions, here are some quick pointers about the legal technicalities of Nick Clegg's statement on the boundary changes.

The full tables for YouGov's weekly Sunday Times poll are now online here. There are a couple of questions on the Boris bandwagon, but mostly it deals with the Olympics. Taking Boris first 39% of people think that David Cameron should remain Tory leader at the next election,
Tonight's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 44%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 8%. While it's within the margin of error of the 9-10 point Labour leads that YouGov have been showing of late, it is the largest Labour lead they&
In what little political news is sneaking through the Olympic media dominance the Boris bandwagon is rolling. Back in May at the time of the mayoral elections YouGov asked a couple of questions on Boris as Tory leader, asking a hypothetical "how would you vote with Boris as leader&
Tonight's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 43%, LD 10%, UKIP 8%. Still within the margin of error of the 9-10 point leads YouGov have been showing for a couple of months and definitely no sign of any Olympic boost for the
A month ago I wrote a guide to How Not to Report Opinion Polls. I have a history of starting regular features and then failing miserably to deliver them, but I am at least going to try to come back to it at the end of every month and highlight
No - don't get excited - tonight's poll doesn't show one. Today's YouGov poll for the Sun has perfectly normal topline figures of CON 34%, LAB 42%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 6%. Once again it is well within the range of the 9-10
Tonight's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 33%, LAB 44%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 7% , so very much in the normal range of YouGov's recent polling. We are also due the monthly ComRes poll for the Independent tonight, but so far they have
