YouGov finds big decline in those thinking that LAB will win a majority
How the landscape has changed since the May locals
Today’s YouGov for the Sunday Times with changes on Thursday’s poll:-
CON 33-2
LAB 38=
LD 11+2
UKIP 13+3
It also sees quite strong backing from supporters of all parties for Ed Miliband in his battle with the Daily Mail.
Looking forward the poll repeated a question last asked in the immediate aftermath of the May local elections – “What do you think is the most LIKELY result of the next election?”
The results are in the chart above and as can be seen the big change has been in the numbers thinking that Labour will win a majority.
