The Times today has the first installment of its Populus Conference poll, this week covering the Liberal Democrats. There was also a small ICM poll on the Liberal Democrats on yesterday’s Politics Show, and a more extensive ICM poll in today’s Guardian. Populus’s poll shows, as usual,

YouGov was one of the sponsors of the Edinburgh Festival last month and carried out various polls for tv industry discussion sessions. There were about six altogether - you can see them all on the YouGov website here - but are mostly, well, the sort of thing that TV executives
Hot on the heels of the ASH survey last month which suggested that people support a smoking ban in pubs, Forest have commissioned a Populus poll to show they don’t. As I showed last week, the different is all in how the question is presented - if you give
As you’ll have no doubt spotted from the copious library footage of cigar-smoking fat men in fedoras on the news bulletins, Ken Clarke has lumbered into the ring to contest the Conservative leadership again. You can’t be a perennial Conservative leadership contender for a decade without having had
