Beware rogue polls etc. but even with that in mind, this is a poll that stands out. Especially when (and bear in mind this is an unweighted sample) the Labour lead was +17 points post “Sleaze Sunday”:
ComRes/Indy – CON 33%, LAB 43%, LDEM 11%
A Ten point lead. That’s Labour’s biggest lead for years. The YouGov poll tonight isn’t too shabby either:
YouGov/Sun: CON 35%, LAB 42%, LDEM 9%
Both well outside of the margin of error. In the Times it’s a little less rosy, but still a clear lead:
Populus/Times: Con 34%, LAB 38%, LDEM 11%
There’s a definite “Budget Bounce” here.
