YouGov have a new poll of Labour party members in the Sunday Times, and it shows even Labour members distinctly unenthusiastic about their leader. His net approval rating is a flat zero - 49% think he is doing well, 49% think he is doing badly. Asked why Gordon Brown'
A semi-regular question I get asked here is why Yougov, with a panel of 250,000 people, can't do polls with much larger sample sizes so we can see what is happening in a particular type of seat, region, county, city and so on. A normal voting intention
A new ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday has topline voting intention figures of CON 39%(-5), LAB 27%(+2), LDEM 21%(+4). The poll was conducted between the 17th and 18th September, so straight after Nick Clegg's speech, and suggests a healthy conference boost for the
What I assume is the first post-Lib Dem conference poll (the dates aren't available, but YouGov normally have a fast turnaround) shows a healthy boost for the party. The topline figures in the YouGov poll, with changes from their last poll before the conference season began are CON

Populus's annual conference poll, in which they include questions they can publish before each of the three conferences, is one of the few times we can guarantee to get some questions asked about the Liberal Democrats. This year is no different. On one front the poll has good
There is a YouGov poll in the Sunday Times showing topline figures (with changes from YouGov's last poll) of CON 46%(+1), LAB 27%(+1), LDEM 16%(nc). Effectively no change again, giving us a very static summer in the polls. Unless there is more to come from
The first results from Populus' grand conference poll are starting to come out in the Times. Every year Populus do a larg poll before the conference season and drip-feed out the results that are relevant to each party in the run up to their conference. Amongst other things, this
Channel 4 news has a new YouGov poll of marginal seats. The poll covered Labour held Conservative target seats that require a swing between 3% and 7% to capture, the logic being that those "low hanging fruit" are certain Conservative gains in the present environment, so the battleground
