Given the wave-making nature of the ComRes poll earlier, it's worth pointing out the YouGov poll for tomorrow's Sunday Times.  Rather than a eye-catching increase in Lib Dem support, it records a 2 point fall for Clegg, Cable et al.  Here are the headline numbers: Conservatives --- 44 percent (up 1 percentage point) Labour --- 32 percent (no change) Lib Dem --- 14 percent (down...

A YouGov poll suggests that the Lib Dem/Conservative coalition has the approval of 60% of the public – almost exactly the combined vote of the two parties in last week’s General Election. Of course, the reality is slightly more complex than this, with a significant minority of Labour voters approving and not every Lib Dem or

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.

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%). Here’s an excerpt: This poll tells us nothing about how the

What I assume is the first post-Lib Dem conference poll (the dates aren’t available, but YouGov normally have a fast turnaround) shows a healthy boost for the party. The topline figures in the YouGov poll, with changes from their last poll before the conference season began are CON 44%(-2), LAB 23%(-3), LDEM 20%(+4). It’s more

CONSERVATIVES 43% (-2) LABOUR 32% (nc) LIB DEMS 16% (+2) Was this predicted by the betting markets? The January YouGov poll for the Daily Telegraph is out and shows a small reduction in the Tory share and a small increase for the Lib Dem on compared with the last survey from the pollster the Sunday before last. The change

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. Cracking stuff (once again) for the SNP.

A quite startling YouGov poll in the Daily Express today (courtesy of Scottish Tory Boy) SNP - 34% Conservatives - 24% Labour 24% Lib Dem - 17% I make it this gives a breakdown in seats of: SNP - 30! Tory - 11 Labour - 9 Lib Dem - 9 Nothing short of spanking I'm sure you'll agree. It goes to show how good this poll is for the SNP that not only would the SNP take the much-discussed Paisle...

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
