YouGov/Times - CON 41, LAB 42, LD 7

YouGov's regular voting intention poll for the Times has topline figures of CON 41%(+1), LAB 42%(+1), LDEM 7%(-2). Fieldwork was Tuesday to Wednesday and changs are from early January.

The regular tracking question on "Bregret" finds 45% of respondents saying Britain was right to vote for Brexit, 44% think it was wrong. This is the first time YouGov have found more people saying right than wrong since last August, though I would caution against reading much into that. On average this question has been showing about 2% more people thinking it was the wrong decision than the right decision, but normal sample variation from poll to poll (the "margin of error") means that with figures that close random chance alone should produce the occassional poll with "right" ahead, even if public opinion is actually unchanged. As ever, don't get too excited over one poll, and wait to see if it is reflected in other polls.
