YouGov on the death penalty

Last night's YouGov poll for the Sun had topline figures of CON 36%, LAB 44%, LDEM 9% - very much the norm as of late. If there is any effect on the polls from the riots you shouldn't expect to see them yet anyway.

In the meantime, today's poll had some updated figures on the death penalty - YouGov found 62% would support the death penalty for the murder of a child, 53% would support the death penalty for the murder of a police officer, 63% would support it for murder as part of a terrorist act and 65% would support it for multiple murders. However, only 38% of people would support the death penalty for all cases of murder, with 43% opposed.

For what most people are probably really interested in, we should get the first polling touching upon the riots tonight or tomorrow.
