Welcome back! In the next couple of days I'll be putting up some articles looking at how the polls have fared for the three main political parties over the last year and what they are indicating for the year ahead. In the meantime, here's a round
YouGov's December poll has the Conservative lead down marginally at 4 points, the full topline figures with changes from last month's are CON 37%(nc), LAB 33%(+1), LDEM 17%(+1). The changes from last month are insignificant in themselves, but over the longer term there
The last of ICM's monthly Guardian polls of 2006 shows the Conservatives with an 8 point lead in voting intentions. The full topline figures with changes from ICM's last poll in the News of the World are CON 40%(+1), LAB 32%(+1), LDEM 18%(-2)
More from Populus' latest poll in today's Times. Populus found a small majority (52%) in favour of replacing Trident, with 20% saying they supported Trident in the past but don't think it should be replaced now and 23% saying they have never supported Britain having
Populus's final monthly poll of 2006 in Tuesday's Times shows a drop in the level of Conservative support. The topline voting intention figures are CON 34% (-2), LAB 33%(nc), LDEM 19%(-1). Populus tend to show the smallest Labour lead of the main pollsters, and

Since the election have been nineteen polls asking how people would vote with Gordon Brown as Labour party leader. Populus seem to have pretty much made it one of their regular tracker questions. Every month when one is published I try to add a caveat of some sort to them
The ICM poll published in the News of the World was actually their unadjusted figures. Once ICM's spiral of silence adjustment is taken into account the correct figures are CON 39%, LAB 31%, LDEM 20%. Now the full figures are up on the ICM website we can compare
A YouGov poll in the Telegraph suggests continuing unease over ID cards and the national database, and the potential for outright refusal to co-operate with any scheme from a minority of the public. 50% of people said they were in favour of ID cards, with 39% of people opposed. This
No sooner have I dismissed October's ICM poll that showed a 10 point Conservative lead as an obvious outlier (and therefore interpreted their Guardian poll this month as a return to the norm), suddenly another poll appears with a lead of the same sort of size. An ICM
The monthly YouGov poll for the Telegraph, a week later than usual, has the topline voting intentions of CON 37%(-2), LAB 32%(nc), LDEM 16%(nc), suggesting a drop in Conservative support. There has been a perception in recent weeks that the polls are showing a fall in Conservative
There are two recent ICM polls on wearing religious symbols and clothing in public. The first for the News of the World last weekend found overwhelming opposition to BA in the "necklace row" - 80% of people said that British Airways had been wrong to enforce their uniform
