New Ipsos MORI Poll – Tories Increase Lead to 8%

A new Ipsos MORI poll has been published tonight for Reuters showing the Conservatives 8% ahead of Labour:

            Conservative              39% (up 3%)

                                                        Labour                       31% (up 2%)

                                                        Lib Dem                      19% (down 8%)

This is the first post-election poll from MORI and the big changes merely bring it into line with other recent polls from other organisations.

New ICM Poll – Tories 8% Ahead of Labour

There is a new ICM poll in tomorrow’s Guardian confirming the trend of most recent polls with the Conservatives comfortably ahead of Labour:

            Conservative              39% (no change)

                                                  Labour                       31% (down 1%) 

                                                  Lib Dem                      21% (no change) 

The change is minimal and well within the margin of error.

Voters remain keen on the coalition. Between them, the two parties involved have the backing of 60% of voters. A small majority, 54%, think David Cameron is doing a good job. Only 22% say he is not, giving him a net approval rating of 23 points. But 25% have yet to make up their minds.

The prime minister is more popular than either the government as a whole or the chancellor. On balance, 45% think the government is doing a good job and 22% think it is not, a net positive rating of 23.
