This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun had topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 39%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 13%. Whereas once the YouGov daily poll was pretty consistent in showing an average Labour lead of ten points or so, the lead is now in single figures more often

This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 31%, LAB 38%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 16%. YouGov's daily polling has shown Labour back in a single figure lead for the the last four polls (though even several polls in a row at the

Given the news that the EU is not to renew the ban on sending arms to Syria, I thought it worth revisiting some of the recent polling on the subject. YouGov asked about supplying arms to the Syrian rebels at the start of the month and found very little support.
The full tabs for the ComRes European election poll are now online here. The poll also asked Westminister voting intention and produced topline figures of CON 26%, LAB 37%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 20%. It did not use ComRes's normal method, excluding the reallocation of don't knows
