The regular YouGov/Sun poll tonight has topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 33%, LDEM 7%, UKIP 15%, GRN 7% - YouGov continue to show the two main parties extremely close, normally within a point of each other.

Earlier on today we also had a new poll of student voters by Youthsight here. Unlike the voodoo student poll that got some pickup last month, Youthsight polls do seem to be kosher - they are recruited through UCAS, validated by ac.uk addresses and weighted by type of university, gender and year of study. Topline figures for voting intention amongst students are CON 23%, LAB 33%, LDEM 7%, UKIP 2%, GRN 28% - so the Greens in a strong second place behind Labour. The poll also asked if students were actually registered to vote - 78% said they were (thought most said they were registered or would vote at home, rather than university), 22% said there were not or did not know.
