We’re 5 points ahead, did you notice?

The latest YouGov poll released last night was as follows:

CON 37%, LAB 42%, LDEM 9%

That’s the highest Labour lead YouGov have shown since before David Cameron’s veto in December, and a significant shift away from the level pegging we’ve seen between the parties in recent weeks.

My first reaction was to write this off as a rogue poll – but responding to me on Twitter last night, Michael Dugher MP said:

“Rogue polls only get coverage if they put the Conservatives 5 points ahead…”

He’s right you know. Perhaps we’ll see the Tories flying into a frenzy of panic about their poor polling today? Somehow, I imagine that won’t be the case…
