Opinium's latest voting intention poll has topline figures of CON 38%, LAB 31%, LDEM 6%, UKIP 13%, GRN 4%. The seven point Conservative lead is much tighter than we've seen in other recent polls, which have almost all had double-figure Tory leads. While the lead has

Donald Trump has won, so we have another round of stories about polling shortcomings, though thankfully it's someone else's country this time round (this is very much a personal take from across an ocean - the Yougov American and British teams are quite separate, so I
