Labour’s image is becoming less sleazy

I’ve had chance to look at the proper figures from this mornings YouGov poll, including their regular trackers which produce some interesting findings. While there were more respondents who claimed their opinion of Brown had got worse over recent weeks than those who said it had improved, the trackers confirm this really isn’t the case. [...]

YouGov’s October Poll

YouGov’s monthly poll for the Telegraph has topline figures, with changes since the YouGov poll for the Mirror a fortnight ago, of CON 42%(nc), LAB 33%(-1), LDEM 15%(+1).
The Lib Dems are marginally up, Labour marginally down, but shifts of a single point are insignificant: as with ComRes earlier this week this is a “no change” [...]

Would you vote for an atheist

As well as the voting intention poll for the Indy, ComRes have also published a poll they have conducted for Theos. As with every other UK poll on the US election, it shows British people would overwhelmingly back Barack Obama rather than John McCain were they to have a vote in the US election. 66% [...]

ComRes show 8 point Tory lead

There is a new ComRes poll in the Independent tomorrow with topline figures - with changes from ComRes’s most recent poll in the Sunday Indy - of CON 39%(-1), LAB 31%(nc), LDEM 16%(nc). The poll was conducted between the 24th and 26th October.
Clearly there is no significant change from the this previous poll, but that [...]

Labour move back ahead in Scotland

YouGov has a new poll of Scottish voting intentions in the Sunday Times. The full voting intentions, with changes from YouGov’s last Scottish poll in September are:

YouGov show a swing to Labour in the marginals

YouGov have repeated their poll of 60 Lab/Con marginal seats for Channel 4 (I wrote about the previous survey here). Labour’s share of the vote in these seats has increased by 6 points since the previous poll in early September, while the Conservatives are down 2 points. Whereas the previous YouGov marginal poll translated into [...]

Ipsos MORI’s October Monitor

MORI’s October poll has topline figures, with changes from their last poll, of CON 45%(-7), LAB 30%(+6), LDEM 14%(+2). It was conducted between the 17th and 19th October.
There are huge changes from their last poll which was conducted in mid-September. It is hard to read anything into them though, since that poll was the rather [...]

ICM’s monthly poll

ICM’s monthly poll for the Guardian has topline figures of CON 42%(nc), LAB 30%(nc), LDEM 21%(+4). Changes are from the last ICM poll, done at the beginning of October right after the Tory party conference.
There is no obvious boost in Labour support, thought the other questions in the poll show that people are positive about [...]

More on the ICM poll

The full tables for the ICM poll in the News of the World are now available here. There is absolutely nothing there that could possibly be construed as a voting intention (indeed, judging by the blurb it wasn’t even politically weighted). Move along, nothing to see here.

YouGov: Lowest Tory lead since April

A YouGov poll for Monday’s Daily Mirror has topline figures - with changes from the last YouGov poll a week ago - of CON 42%(-1), LAB 34%(+1), LDEM 14%(nc).
The change from the previous poll is not in itself significant, but it is a further narrowing of the Tory lead and, as with ComRes, crosses [...]
