Politicshome, which officially launches today, has up as Breaking news that the lastest poll (presumably YouGov for the Evening Standard) has Boris Johnson leading Ken Livingstone by 13 points. I'll post properly once I've seen the poll. UPDATE: The new YouGov poll for the Evening Standard
There wasn't actually much more of interest in the ICM poll in the Sunday Telegraph. What did attract my attention is the allegation from the Boris Johnson campaign that he had been the victim of push polling. Now, I'm in no position to say whether that&
Various questions were asked last week about the age weighting on the YouGov poll which made it look as though there were far too many over 55s in the London sample. Putting on my YouGov hat, what actually went on under the bonnet is a bit more complicated than that,
A new ICM poll in the Sunday Telegraph shows a slight recovery for Labour, putting them back above thirty. Conservative support is also up slightly from the last ICM poll so the Tory lead remains in double figures - at 11 points enough to produce an overall Conservative majority if
Ipsos MORI's monthly poll has appeared after what appears to be a lengthy delay - the fieldwork was carried out way back between the 13th and 18th March, so actually about the same time as the first ICM and YouGov polls that showed big Conservative leads back in

A YouGov poll for Liberty shows a high level of support for keeping the 28 day limit on holding terrorist suspects without charge if the rules are relaxed to allow the police to continue to question them. Previous polls have always shown public support for allowing the police to hold
ComRes's monthly poll for the Independent has topline voting intentions with changes from last month of CON 38%(-3), LAB 31%(+1), LDEM 17%(nc). Unlike ICM and YouGov's polls since the budget, there is no obvious Conservative leap here, in fact, their lead over Labour
When politicians are asked about unflattering polling figures it's a tricky question to answer - what can you say? "The poll shows no one likes me and I'm going to lose"? Most politicans resort to the time honoured cliches of there being lots to
Not confimed yet, but apparently a new YouGov poll for the Standard has topline voting intentions, with changes from their last poll, of JOHNSON 47% (-2), LIVINGSTONE 37% (nc), PADDICK 10% (-2), Others 5%. With no candidate getting over 50% support, the second preferences of other candidates would come into
The YouGov poll in the Telegraph is now up here and the full tables are on the YouGov website here. The full voting intentions are CON 43%(nc), LAB 29%(+2), LDEM 17%(+1). The other standard trackers all paint an equally bleak picture for the government, on the forced
