Tories get to within one percent in today’s YouGov daily poll

A narrowing lead or normal variation within margin of error?

The Tory share of 37% is the best for the party since March 16 2012 a few days before the budget which seemed set off the decline.

Four weeks ago YouGov had the two parties level-pegging. Ten days later LAB had an 11% lead.

37% is also what the party secured at GE2010 which in view of the austerity measures is quite remarkable.

As yet I have not seen the detailed data to see if there were sampling issues which might be an explanation. I will update this post when that is available.

If this is sustained and supported by other polling then GE2015 could be a lot closer than many had thought.
