Ipsos MORI are still working on the review of their polling methods they launched after deciding their London polls had indeed over-estimated Labour support in the mayoral race. Avid watchers of polls will probably have spotted that their political monitor never surfaced last month - I understand they carried it
A new YouGov poll for OpenEurope shows a majority (54%) of people think government should abandon attempts to ratify the Lisbon treaty, only 14% think it should still be ratified. In terms of general attitude towards the EU, 24% of people think Britain should leave the EU entirely, 38% support
Ipsos-MORI have carried out a poll on opinions of David Davis for the Independent. They found the plurality of people were opposed to his action - 39% thought he was right to resign, but 48% thought he was wrong. However, when asked if they would vote for Davis if they
There is also a snap Haltemprice and Howden constituency poll conducted by ICM for the Mail on Sunday on Friday. It shows 57% of Mr Davis's constituens support his decision to force a by-election and 69% think it was a principled decision. At this stage, David Davis would
There are two new polls in the Sunday newspapers, our first chance to see what the public's response is to David Davis's shock resignation. A new ComRes poll in the Independent on Sunday began its fieldwork prior to Davis' resignation so contains no specific questions

Populus's monthly poll for the Times has topline voting intentions, with changes from last week, of CON 45%(+5), LAB 25%(-4), LDEM 20%(+1). The poll was conducted between the 3rd and 5th of June, so would have got the brunt of the Caroline Spelman coverage, which
An ICM poll for the Sunday Telegraph has topline voting intention figures, with changes from their last poll, of CON 42%(+1), LAB 26%(-1), LDEM 21%(-1). The changes from the last poll are insignificant in themselves, but the continuing drift towards the Conservatives makes the 16 point lead
There is an ICM poll in tommorrow's Sunday Telegraph. Their Three Line Whip blog tells us that it is going to show a "healthy" Conservative lead, and suggests that Labour's brand is tarnished (we shall see what that means in due course). More later
I was expecting a Populus poll tonight, but normally they drop me an email to say when the figures will be published on their website and - so far - no email, so it's looking doubtful. What has turned up is the monthly poll for ComRes, which has
Mark Blumenthal over at Pollster.com has drawn my attention to this article by David Runciman in the LRB which, amongst other things, complains about quite how "rubbish" polls in the USA are with their 600-700 samples, compared to "1000-2000" samples in the UK. I haven&
