YouGov/Sunday Times - CON 39, LAB 42, LDEM 8

Today's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 39%, LAB 42%, LDEM 8%. The three point Labour lead is very much in line with the leads of four points or so that we've seen since the conference season ended, so the figures are largely unremarkable (though there is an absence of any Fox effect so far - not that I'd necessarily predict any).

Most of the other questions in the poll were Fox related, and hence are rather out of date (the perils of polling in a rapid news cycle). For the record, the proportion of people who thought Fox should resign had risen to 58% from 54% in the week, and more notably, Conservative voters themselves thought Fox should go by 48% to 30%. Other questions mostly produced answers critical to Fox. The most interesting one in my mind (if only because the result was the least predictable) was whether or not people trusted Sir Gus O'Donnell to carry out a rigorous and unbaised investigation - 36% of people did, 37% did not.

Apart from Fox there were some questions on unemployment, where people overwhelmingly think the government are doing badly (by 77% to 15%), on organ donation (52% support the idea of paying the funeral expenses for people who donate organs after death, but only 38% support general payments to people for donating organs), and what people would do if they won the lottery.
