Following two YouGov polls in a row showing a two point Labour lead, today's voting intention figures are CON 37%, LAB 42%, LDEM 10%. A five point Labour lead is the largest any pollster has shown since the general election (and the largest Labour lead since the election-that-never-was)
I used to occassionally link to awful newspaper reports of polling and give out the coverted UKPR prize for atrocious newspaper reporting of polls. I'm happy to report today that I can link to a journalist dealing properly with polling evidence, and actually going back to the archives
When yesterday's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times showed a two point Labour lead I gave my normal cautious "might yet just be margin of error, wait till tomorrow" type reaction. Well, today's YouGov voting intention poll for the Sun has voting intentions of

In YouGov's daily poll for the Sun yesterday we also asked for the first reactions to Phil Woolas being ejected from Parliament. 71% thought that the courts were right to expel Woolas, with only 7% thinking they had made the wrong decision. There was also very little sympathy

Tonight's weekly YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 40%, LAB 39%, LDEM 12%, very much in line with the sort of figures YouGov have been showing for the last week. I'm not yet aware of any other polls for the Sunday
