After a number of surveys had shown a tightening of public opinion there is good news for the Conservative Party in today’s Times. Populus puts the Tories 9% ahead. The party also leads on economic competence. ICM, on Sunday, had put Labour ahead on this crucial measure. There will be relief in CCHQ that the […]
An ICM survey for tomorrow’s Sunday Telegraph shows that the political situation is tightening but not as worryingly as a MORI and previous ICM poll had suggested.

The Tories are […]

Earlier today we noted the Mori survey for The Sun. The survey found that the Tories were 10% ahead but that Brown was (narrowly) the preferred PM. It appears that the samples were not the same. The 10% lead came from those very likely to vote but the lead for Brown was from amongst all […]
