YouGov's lowest Tory lead since last year

A YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures, with changes from the previous poll a fortnight ago, of CON 41%(-1), LAB 36%(+3), LDEM 14%(-1).

The 5 point Tory lead is the smallest lead since April and the smallest from YouGov since December last year. It echoes the move towards Labour that we saw in Populus at the beginning of the week. Notably, like most other polls, the Conservatives are still sticking above 40%, with Labour's growing support coming from the Liberal Democrats and "others". The dates aren't available yet, but the chances are it was conducted between Wednesday and Friday and most of YouGov's fieldwork occurs at the start of their fieldwork period, so if there is a "baby p" effect on the polls we wouldn't necessarily be seeing it yet.
