Opinium’s leader ratings also have Ed ahead of Dave

There’s a new poll out from Opinium – the online firm that hasn’t received much credit for being closest with the final Boris-Ken split in the London Mayoral election just over a fortnight ago.

It reported a 52-48 final split which was two points closer than YouGov. The final split in actual votes was 51.53% to 48.47%.

Opiinum’s latest Westminster VI poll is now reporting, like the other firms, a move to Labour away from the Tories since April with a very high UKIP share. This is the split CON 30-2/LAB 41+2/UKIP 10-/LD 9+1.

The firm’s leader approval ratings show with changes on last month: DC=-27%(-5)/EdM =-17(+9)/NC-46(-3)

All this is in line with what we’ve seen from YouGov and the other firms.

It means that all the polls from all the pollsters to have reported since the May 3 local elections have LAB with double digit leads.

After the weekend we should get the results of phone polls from ICM and Populus.
