Why Labour’s polling position might not be as robust at it looks
Some other findings from today’s daily poll
Cameron’s YouGov lead as “best PM” up from 8% a fortnight ago to 11%.He’s 33% to Ed’s 22%

Just 53% of LAB voters tell YouGov that Ed Miliband would make the best PM.

LAB might enjoy 45% voting intention share with YouGov but just 31% say they want a LAB majority government with 30% saying a CON one

One in four LAB voters according to today’s YouGov poll DO NOT WANT a LAB majority government

Remember that these findings come from a poll which had Labour on 45% – 12% ahead of the Tories with the LDs down to 8%.
Labour’s overall VI numbers, I’d suggest, might be a bit flaky.
