New ICM Poll – Tories Retain 4% Lead
There is a new ICM poll in today’s News of the World showing the Conservatives maintaining a 4% lead over Labour but now touching the statistically important 40% mark:
Conservative 40% (up 2%)
Labour 36% (up 2%)
Lib Dem 16% (down 2%)
ICM and YouGov are considered by most polling analysts to be the “Gold standard” of opinion polling and therefore it is interesting to see them converge as far as the Labour and Conservative shares are concerned. However, there is still a difference between them over the Lib Dem share.
