TNS-BMRB have released a new poll with topline figures of CON 31%(+3), LAB 44%(nc), LDEM 8%, Others 17%(-2). Changes are from their previous poll which was conducted prior to the Liberal Democrat conference - on the face of it is shows a rather counter-intuitive Conservative increase during
A couple of articles by James Forsyth and Gary Gibbon at the weekend mentioned a Conservative belief that they would do better because there were "shy Tories" out there. My initial reaction was that it smelt a bit "straw-clutchy", but equally James cited Andrew Cooper and
This week's YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 31%, LAB 45%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 8% - maintaining the conference boost for Labour that we saw straight after Ed Miliband's speech. Looking more specificially at Ed Miliband, his job approval rating is

This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 31%, LAB 45%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 7%. A fourteen point Labour lead is certainly not unprecedented (YouGov had them that far ahead back in June) and not outside the normal margin of error, but wouldn'

The full tables for the YouGov/Sunday Times survey are now up here, largely covering the Labour leadership and atttitudes towards taxes on the rich. The comparisons between Ed Miliband and David Cameron show the regular pattern we've seen in other polling and in the Opinium poll last
Opinium's weekly poll for the Observer is already out and has topline figures of CON 29%(-1), LAB 39%(-3), LDEM 10%(+2), Others 22%(+2), including UKIP on 10%. The Lib Dems are up two points since their conference, though it is impossible to know whether that
The Conservative party have got some very good pickup in the press this morning for some Populus polling they have commissioned about Ed Miliband. It's very good PR for them, framing the start of Labour conference with media discussion of Miliband's position, but the polling itself
This morning's YouGov poll for the Sun has topline figures of CON 32%, LAB 41%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 9%. Yesterday had a thirteen point lead, but today's is very much back into the normal range. There is no sign of any bounce for the Liberal Democrats
The monthly ICM poll for the Guardian is out and has topline figures of CON 31%(-3), LAB 41%(+2), LDEM 14%(-1), Others 14%. In the last couple of years ICM have tended to show smaller Labour leads than many other polling companies for methological reasons, so while ten
