A semi-regular question I get asked here is why Yougov, with a panel of 250,000 people, can't do polls with much larger sample sizes so we can see what is happening in a particular type of seat, region, county, city and so on. A normal voting intention
A new ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday has topline voting intention figures of CON 39%(-5), LAB 27%(+2), LDEM 21%(+4). The poll was conducted between the 17th and 18th September, so straight after Nick Clegg's speech, and suggests a healthy conference boost for the
What I assume is the first post-Lib Dem conference poll (the dates aren't available, but YouGov normally have a fast turnaround) shows a healthy boost for the party. The topline figures in the YouGov poll, with changes from their last poll before the conference season began are CON
The Independent today reports the results of a poll of Labour party members and supporters by Labourhome.org suggesting even a majority of Labour party members would rather Gordon Brown went. Polling party members is hard - they are hard to get hold of, hard to know how to weight

There is a YouGov poll in the Sunday Times showing topline figures (with changes from YouGov's last poll) of CON 46%(+1), LAB 27%(+1), LDEM 16%(nc). Effectively no change again, giving us a very static summer in the polls. Unless there is more to come from
The first results from Populus' grand conference poll are starting to come out in the Times. Every year Populus do a larg poll before the conference season and drip-feed out the results that are relevant to each party in the run up to their conference. Amongst other things, this
Channel 4 news has a new YouGov poll of marginal seats. The poll covered Labour held Conservative target seats that require a swing between 3% and 7% to capture, the logic being that those "low hanging fruit" are certain Conservative gains in the present environment, so the battleground
It sounds like a obvious point, but when people answer survey questions, they know what you're up to: coming round here, asking all your questions about voting intention and elections tomorrow, you're just going to add up the figures, weight them and publish them in the
A new YouGov poll in the Sunday Times in Scotland has Westminster voting intentions in Scotland of CON 17%, LAB 32%, LDEM 13%, SNP 34%. The Holyrood voting intention figures are Constituency CON 13%, LAB 26%, LDEM 15%, SNP 42%%, and regional CON 14%, LAB 25%, LDEM 14%, SNP 35%
