What will the latest ComRes poll have in store?

I’ve just been told that there’s a new ComRes national voting intention poll which will be published tonight. The last survey from the pollster, taken straight after the Lib Dem conference but before Labour’s gathering started, had the worst figures for the Tories in months.

The totals then were CON 39%: LAB 27%: LD 21%.

If ComRes have followed their normal pattern then fieldwork would have started on Friday and continued until yesterday – a period which was largely dominated by the world financial crisis and the Gordon Brown’s visit to the US.
