It’s a well-established pattern during this Parliament that YouGov generally gives lower ratings to the Liberal Democrats than other pollsters, and this appears to be due to YouGov finding female voters to be more Conservative than other polling companies. Whilst YouGov did well in last year’s London Mayor elections, its record in other elections is

The full tables for the YouGov/Telegraph are now on YouGov’s website. The other underlying questions show movement against Labour (not unexpectedly, since these are all comparisons to the last YouGov/Telegraph poll in December, not the Sunday Times one in January). Gordon Brown’s net approval rating continues to fall, now down to minus 36. Government approval

The YouGov/Telegraph poll I expected last week is in Monday’s Telegraph. The topline voting intention figures, with changes from YouGov’s last poll, are CON 39%(nc), LAB 22%(-1), LDEM 18%(-1). Evidently there is no major change here from YouGov’s last poll a fortnight ago. More interesting will be European voting intentions (if they were asked) as we

Both ICM and YouGov asked people about Brown and Miliband in their recent polls. In YouGov’s poll 21% of people thought Miliband would be a better Prime Minister than Brown (unfortunately YouGov didn’t give the alternative of him being worse than Brown - only of not being better). 11% of people told YouGov they would

Just over a year ago, I highlighted how YouGov consistently found the Conservatives relatively more popular amongst women than men compared to other pollsters: YouGov, MORI and ComRes are the three of the main polling companies who also provide a gender breakdown of party levels of support using the same methodology as for their headline voting

I have been away for a few days visiting our Capital City, so sorry for lack of posts, responses and other things expected of me! Apart from not doing blogging I haven't done any YouGov surveys this week either so my views aren't included in these results. However whilst trawling through my e-mails I read the results from last Friday's (I think) YouGov daily survey and thought that it might be of ...

Tomorrow’s Sun has a new YouGov poll, the first of the year. The topline figures, with changes from the last YouGov poll, are CON 41%(-1), LAB 34%(-1), LDEM 15%(+1). There is no significant change from the YouGov polls before Christmas, despite the flurry of high street retaillers being forced into administration that one might have

Further to the ComRes survey, news of a second poll out tomorrow; it's a YouGov poll in the Sunday Times: Comparisons are with the YouGov poll taken on the day of the Pre-Budget report, meaning an increase in the Tory...

A YouGov poll for tomorrow's Sun newspaper puts the parties on the following percentages: Con - 41% (-1)Lab - 34% (-1)LD - 15% (+1) Comparisons are with the last pre-Christmas YouGov poll. The Sun report suggests that these figures would...

A quick follow-up to my post with YouGov’s party I.D. figures as I’ve now got ComRes’s equivalent figures, these taken from its penultimate election poll: Party I.D. Labour 32.5% (YouGov), 39% (ComRes) Conservatives 28.5% (YouGov), 35% (ComRes) Lib Dem 12% (YouGov), 17% (ComRes) Measuring underlying party I.D, as opposed to current voting intention, is a
