YouGov/Sun - CON 33, LAB 42, LD 10, UKIP 10
This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 33%, LAB 42%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 10% - another single figure lead for Labour. In the past few week YouGov's daily polls have shown increasingly frequent 11, 12 even 13 point leads, and had looked as though the Labour lead may have been inching upwards, but now we are back down in the 10 point sort of area.
The poll also asked voting intention in an EU referendum - the result is not as striking as the Sunday Times poll that had people saying they would vote to stay in (that one came after some other questions on referendums and Europe, so there could have been an order effect), but it confirms the turnaround in public opinion. 40% said they would vote to leave, 37% said they would vote to stay - a three point lead for leaving. Compare this to the twenty-one point lead for leaving YouGov found in October and November last year.
Meanwhile the full tables for yesterday's ICM poll are now up on their website here. As usual the re-allocation of don't knows reduced Labour's lead, in this case from eight points to five points - so despite the apparent contradiction, ICM and YouGov are actually recording a very similar Labour lead, eight points and nine points. The difference in their topline reported figure is because the two companies make different assumptions about what don't knows will do (YouGov ignore them, ICM assume a proportion will go back to their previous parties).
