Labour gets closer with TNS-BRMB

TNS-BMRB Mar XX Mar 3
CONSERVATIVES 38% 39%
LABOUR 33% 31%
LIB DEMS 19% 19%
LAB to CON swing from 2005 4% 5.5%

The new pollster adds to the confusion

There’s a new poll out from TNS-BRMB, which carries out its polling face-to-face but where interviewees self-complete their responses on a lap-top in confidence. The comparisons are with the last poll from the firm a month ago.

I’m not sure about the fieldwork dates but the figures look a lot better for Labour than many other recent polls. The 33% share is the highest of any of the ten firms currently covering this election.

The firm weight by likelihood to vote but as far as I can see there is no mechanism to ensure a politically balanced sample.

New ICM poll tonight. This will be in the Guardian.
