This weekend's second BPIX poll

There is also a new BPIX poll in the Mail on Sunday. The topline figures are CON 43%, LAB 29%, LDEM 16%. As far as I can tell the fieldwork was conducted at exactly the same time as the BPIX poll in yesterday's Daily Mail (42/28/2018), so the differences between the two polls should be entirely down to sample variation.

They also asked people if they agreed with a list of policies announced at the Conservative conference. Most popular were cutting the number of MPs (supported by 75%), and tax hikes for the rich (76% supported ending tax credits for those on over £50,000 and 74% supported keeping the 50p tax rate) - despite that, the cutting of inheritance tax was also supported by 62%. Least popular were the raising of the pension age to 66 (suppored by only 34%, and opposed by 47%) and the public sector pay freeze (supported by 37%, opposed by 44%).
