YouGov/Sunday Times - CON 35, LAB 44, LDEM 9
Topline results in this week's Sunday Times poll are CON 35%, LAB 44%, LDEM 9% - still very much in line with YouGov's average Labour lead of around 8 points. Full tabs are here. On the leader ratings, both Cameron and Miliband are down from a week ago - Cameron's approval rating is minus 14 (down from minus 11), Miliband's is minus 22 (down from minus 17). Time will tell whether Miliband's ratings drop back to their pre-Hackgate levels or whether he has permanently improved the public's perception of him.
On the economy, 40% of people think the government should be cutting less, 26% cutting more with 20% thinking they are getting it about right - it suggests that slightly more people are backing the strategy of large cuts than oppose it, but that there is a sizeable chunk of people who support cuts who don't think the government are doing enough to deliver them. There is a similar pattern on public sector jobs, but here the overall balance of opinion is in the other direction - 48% think there are too many public sector job cuts, 20% not enough and 20% about right.
On public sector pensions, 48% of people think it is right that public sector workers pay more towards their pensions, 35% disagree. Support and opposition to strike action by public sector workers mirrors this almost exactly - 36% support it, 49% oppose it.
On Syria there is little appetite for intervention. Only 27% would like to see the international community intervene, and if the UN did approve intervention, only 29% would support British troops taking part, 52% would be opposed. Finally, views on Charlie Gilmour's sentencing are split down the middle - 24% think it was too harsh, 26% too soft, 43% about right.
The only other poll in the Sunday papers is Survation in the Mail on Sunday, who found 53% of people in favour of a return of the death penalty - pretty typical of recent years.
