Anthony,

Any idea what’s happened to cause a lack of polls. Do you think they will all suddenly come along together like the buses ?

This must be one of the longest periods recently without a voting intention opinion poll. I thought this might happen in August but not July.

What I find to be significant is that during this year until 23rd of April Yougov polled for Labour on average 32%
and ICM until the 19th of April polled on average 30%.

Yougov polled on average until that time 2 points higher on average than ICM

From the 23rd of April Yougov showed a massive dip of 8 points in Labour’s support polling on average 24%.

But ICM showed a much smaller dip of only 2.75 points polling on average from the19th of April 27.25%

Now that Labour have dipped well below what they gained at the GE we find that ICM are polling on average 3.25 points more than Yougov !!! This can only be explained by differing methodology. How much more evidence must I submit to sceptics !!!

Does anyone know when the next run of polls is due? There seems to have been a bit of a hiatus recently.

I’m guessing we won’t see too much more before the Autumn now.
