The voting intention figures from YouGov’s poll for the Evening Standard last week have been released in today’s paper. The topline figures, with changes from the last general election, are: CON 43% (+11) LAB 37% (-2) LIB DEM 13%(-9) This represents a 6.5 point swing to the Tories. The poll was done at much the same time as the YouGov poll for the Sunday Times yesterday, which showed a...

YouGov poll commissioned by the Scottish National Party, fieldwork 6-8 August, sample 1,028. Westminster voting intentions [change on 2005 election in brackets]: SNP: 36% [+18] Labour: 29% [-11] Conservative: 18% [2] Lib Dem: 13% [-10] Other: 5% Bad news for Labour and the Lib Dems.

Channel 4 have released a new YouGov poll of marginal seats that projects a Conservative majority of between 60-70 seats were it to be repeated at a general election. The last time YouGov carried out a marginals poll like this was at the tail end of October, when the Labour lead in national polls had narrowed

Over at the Channel 4 News politics website, Lib Dem blogger James Graham gives his brief take on the latest YouGov poll of Conservative-Labour marginals showing Labour on 36% (-2% since Oct ‘08), the Tories on 43% (n/c) and the Lib Dems at 13% (+1%).

Today's YouGov poll, taken after the PBR, puts Labour on 36% (same as at the last General Election), the Tories on 40% and the LDs on 14%. On a uniform swing this would give Labour 313 seats in the Commons (13 short of a majority), the Tories 289, and the Lib Dems 20.
