First poll of 2009 has the Tories 7 points up
CONSERVATIVES 41% (-1)
LABOUR 34% (-1)
LIB DEMS 15% (+1)
Does this show that the Brown bounce is over?
The first poll of 2009, a YouGov survey for the Sun, has the Tories still on a seven point lead. Compared with the last survey from the pollster before Christmas both Labour and the Tories are down a point with the LDs up one.
This is clearly very little change but the fact that the Tories are still in the 40s with a clear margin will bring some relief to David Cameron.
The margin is not sufficient for the Tories to win an overall majority.
