When politicians are asked about unflattering polling figures it's a tricky question to answer - what can you say? "The poll shows no one likes me and I'm going to lose"? Most politicans resort to the time honoured cliches of there being lots to
Not confimed yet, but apparently a new YouGov poll for the Standard has topline voting intentions, with changes from their last poll, of JOHNSON 47% (-2), LIVINGSTONE 37% (nc), PADDICK 10% (-2), Others 5%. With no candidate getting over 50% support, the second preferences of other candidates would come into
The YouGov poll in the Telegraph is now up here and the full tables are on the YouGov website here. The full voting intentions are CON 43%(nc), LAB 29%(+2), LDEM 17%(+1). The other standard trackers all paint an equally bleak picture for the government, on the forced
A fortnight ago, shortly after the budget, YouGov produced a poll showing a startling 16 point Tory lead, which at first glance looked like an obvious rogue. A couple of days later though an ICM poll showed a 13 point lead, suggesting that the double-point Tory lead was genuine and
We are still in the period when no one really should be publishing any polls, since the fieldwork would have had to have been done over the Easter weekend. Here's some things to keep you amused. Firstly, over at the Election Guide part of the site I have
We shouldn't expect many political polls in the next few days given the Easter break (and if we do, we should probably be wary of them for the same reason) In the meantime here's an Ipsos MORI poll on class. The poll found 52% of respondents
One I missed: a week or so ago there was a MRUK Cello poll in the Sunday Times on Scottish voting intentions. For the Westminster Parliament support stood at CON 18%, LAB 34%, LDEM 11%, SNP 34%. For Holyrood, the constituency vote was CON 15%, LAB 31%, LDEM 12%, SNP
On his blog Iain Dale has a presentation from a Lib Dem conference last spring that included some polling on attitudes towards coalitions. As the third party the media don't often commission interesting polling stuff about the Lib Dems, so it's nice to have some. Sadly
While the 16 point Tory lead on Sunday provided big headlines and no doubt cheered up Conservatives across the country, I suspect even the most rabid Tory suspected in their heart that it was probably an outlier and that the lead would return to more normal levels in the next
A new YouGov poll for the Evening Standard has voting intentions in the London mayoral election, with changes from the last poll carried out in late February, of JOHNSON 49%(+5), LIVINGSTONE 37%(-2), PADDICK 12%(nc). The poll was conducted between the 12th and 14th of March, and is
The full tables for the YouGov/Sunday Times poll are here, no tables yet for ICM, but the News of the World report is here. As with Populus's poll in the week, the individual measures announced in the budget were broadly positive received. 68% told YouGov they supported
YouGov's monthly poll for the Sunday Times, one of the the first voting intention polls since the budget, has quite startling topline figures: CON 43%(+3), LAB 27%(-6), LDEM 16%(nc). The poll was conducted between the 13th and 14th of March, so after respondents would have
