The full tables for the YouGov/Sunday Times poll are now up here, asking mostly about the Eurozone crisis. Looking at the regular leader trackers, David Cameron is on minus 30 (from minus 29 last week) and Ed Miliband is on minus 27 (from minus 23 last week), so Miliband&
Tonight's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 43%, LDEM 8% and Others 17% (including UKIP on 9%). The eleven point Labour lead is in line with the average Labour leads of 12 or 13 points that recent YouGov polling suggestions and
