Labour’s poll lead at 14 points as Tories hit poll low (with three different pollsters)

Today’s YouGov poll shows that Labour’s poll lead now stands at 14 points, with the Tories at an unprecedented poll low of 28% – despite the prevailing Westminster Village wisdom being that they would receive a poll bounce from their stance on Welfare, and the coverage surrounding the death of Margaret Thatcher.

The reason for the poor Tory position doesn’t seem to be an especially strong UKIP performance either – although they’re on 11 points, they’ve been higher in recent days.

In fact – YouGov are the third pollster to record the Tories as being at their lowest polling position, alongside after Opinium and TNS BMRB. Today’s YouGov polling is as follows:

LAB: 42 CON: 28 LD: 12 UKIP: 11
