YouGov show conference boost for the Lib Dems

Share

What I assume is the first post-Lib Dem conference poll (the dates aren't available, but YouGov normally have a fast turnaround) shows a healthy boost for the party. The topline figures in the YouGov poll, with changes from their last poll before the conference season began are CON 44%(-2), LAB 24%(-3), LDEM 20%(+4).

It's more impressive for the Lib Dems since YouGov normally give them the lowest score of any pollster: this is the highest score that YouGov have given them since all the way back in 2005. It's intriguing to think that if this poll had been carried out by ICM or Populus would could potentially have seen Labour and the Lib Dems neck-and-neck. Of course, it is just a conference boost, so it it remains to be sen how things pan out once Labour and the Conservatives have had their own moment in the spotlight.
