CON 38%(-2) LAB 23%(-1) LD 23%(+2) And the LDs draw level after their conference A new poll for the Indy from ComRes tonight has further good news for the Lib Dems following their conference last week. They move up to 23% and are now at the same level as Labour – something that won’t bring much cheer to delegates in Brighton. The trends are very similar to the other recent polls – Lib Dems up with the Tories and Labour…

CON 40 (+4) LAB 25 (+1) LD 22 (+5) All parties see increases from BPIX/YouGov Thanks to “Me” on the ICM thread for picking up today’s BPIX/YouGov poll in the Mail on Sunday. The shares above are compared with the last poll from the firm which appeared on August 23rd and had a massive 23% share for others. It seemed out of line then but this latest poll is very much showing the same picture as the other post-Lib Dem…
BBC news programmes search results Is it simply the “Cameron being invisible” effect again? It’s more than three and a half years since I put forward the theory that a key driver of the voting intention poll numbers is the level of coverage that David Cameron has been getting on the TV in the week or so before the survey’s fieldwork takes place. What’s interesting is that this seems to hold good even if the story is a negative one….
CON 40 (-3) LAB 26 (nc) LD 23 (+4) But will it be there after the conference season? After last night’s YouGov poll showing a three point increase in the Lib Dem total there’s a new ICM poll out for the News of the World which is showing the same broad movement – Labour at a standstill, Nick Clegg’s party up with the Tories down. Another trend, not seen by YouGov but reinforced by ICM, is the continued decline of…
Could healthcare be his ‘No We Can’t’ moment? It’s coming up to a year since the last US presidential election and the shine has come off Obama’s presidency quite rapidly. His approval ratings with Rasmussen went negative during July having started off at around +30%. That’s a measure of those with a strong opinion rather than the balance of all expressing a positive or negative view (which is just about equal), but in a country where the turnout is comparatively…
CON 39% (-2) LAB 26% (-1) LD 20%(+3) Good news for Clegg’s party from YouGov A YouGov poll for tomorrow’s Telegraph will bring some welcome relief for the Lib Dems with a three point boost in their rating. Both the Conservatives and Labour are down, with the Conservatives dropping back below 40%. The changes are against the Sunday Times poll, conducted by YouGov and published on 11th September. All the changes are within the margin of error but only just in the…
