MORI's political monitor for May is out. The topline figures with changes from last month are CON 37%(-1), LAB 35%(+4), LDEM 18%(-2). The fieldwork for the poll was actually conducted prior to the recent YouGov and Communicate Research polls, but the trend matches that of
Communicate's May poll for the Independent has topline figures with changes from last month of CON 35%(-1), LAB 31%(+4), LDEM 19%(-3). This largely reflects the trend seen in the other May polls, which have seen a Labour recovery, most often at the expense of the
More from this month's YouGov poll in Monday's Telegraph , largely about public perceptions of Gordon Brown. The overall findings contain nothing new - Brown is seen as intelligent, effective, competent and decisive, but also divisive, gloomy and dull. More interesting is whether or not the leadership
Despite the major differences between the methodology used by the different pollsters, by hook or by crook the voting intention figures they produce all tend to be relatively similar to one another. The exception is the Liberal Democrats, who vary significantly between ICM, who give them the highest scores, and
In the strange interregnum between Blair's resignation announcement and Gordon Brown's accession it's still unclear what the polls signify. In the three polls carried out since Blair stepped down Labour have received a boost in the polls - either at the expense of the

MORI's most recent political monitor included a question asking about how people voted at the last election. Since they don't use it for weighting purposes, it isn't a question that MORI regularly ask (or at least, it isn't one they regularly publish)
Populus's May poll for the Times shows a similar pattern to YouGov's poll last week - Labour have received a boost from the positive publicity following Tony Blair's resignation, up four points on last month (and as with YouGov, this gives them their highest
The Sunday Times has the first poll of voting intentions since the announcement of Tony Blair's resignation. The YouGov poll has headline voting intentions, with changes from their last poll, of CON 38%(+1), LAB 34%(+2), LDEM 15%(-3). The poll was carried out between the 10th
Yesterday I got a strange phone call from a journalist who'd heard there was a poll out showing Blair in a positive light - presumably she meant the ICM poll in today's Guardian. Despite the rock bottom current approval ratings of Tony Blair, when asked to
With the results from the Scottish election in, how did the pollsters do? All the pollsters underestimated the level of Conservative support in the constituency section (and all by the same amount), Populus's Labour support was too low and YouGov's SNP support too high, leaving ICM
I remember that a year ago my referral logs in the days running up to the local elections were full of people searching for local election opinion polls. They must have come away disappointed, because there were practically none. It looks as though they'll be similarly disappointed this
