Labour increases its lead, from three points to six points.

 

 

The fieldwork dates were between Friday the 30th August and Sunday the 1st September 2013, ComRes interviewed 1,000 British adults by telephone, so all post the Government defeat on Syria.

Other salient points from the poll

• This is another poll showing Labour’s share of the vote in the 36%-40% range.
• For the first time since December 2012 the Lib Dems are ahead of UKIP in a ComRes phone poll.
• As with the YouGov for the Sunday Times, the Tory share of the vote has fallen, but within the margin of the error, but here, Labour haven’t been the recipient of the declining Tory share of the vote, and nor have UKIP.
