Survation poll out
There’s a new poll out by Survation for the Mail on Sunday.
The fieldwork was entirely after the government defeat. Survation interviewed 1002 respondents online on Friday afternoon and evening seeking their reactions to the Government’s House of Commons defeat over Syria.
As we can see there’s been very little movement in VI.

I’m not expecting any other polls bar the YouGov for the Sunday Times. I’ll do a fuller round up on that in the morning, hopefully that will have supplementaries on Syria as well as their usual polling supplementaries.
