Rumours of a big turnaround - UPDATE

Iain Dale is claiming that he's heard on the grapevine that an ICM poll tomorrow shows a 3 point Conservative lead, the first since Brown became leader. No confirmation yet; no idea if it's true. UPDATE - not true after all, seems those were interim figures and the final ones show a small Labour lead.

He also says that the YouGov poll for Channel 4 will show Labour's lead down to 3 points. I'm not in the office today, so can't confirm if that's true or not (and indeed, wouldn't confirm it anyway if I did know!), so once again, no idea if it's true. Iain says Channel 4 have confirmed it is a slim Labour lead.

UPDATE 2: There may also be a snap Populus poll in the Times. Ben Brogan has heard the YouGov poll shows a Labour lead of 4 points. All shall be revealed at around 7 o'clock. Well, the YouGov poll will. We'll have to wait longer for ICM and Populus.

UPDATE 3: Rolling in now! The full Channel 4 results will be available here come the stroke of 7 o'clock. According to Channel 4 "the result is pretty sensational."
