Some polling news for Mr Gove to ponder: YouGov finds that LAB has a 41pc lead amongst teachers
Before GE2010 Ipsos-MORI had LAB 11% ahead with teachers
I’ve now got full details of the YouGov poll of teachers which was carried out for the NUT. I should stress that this is a representative sample of teachers in England and Wales with the YouGov using its estabished polling panel.
What is strking is how different this compares with an IPSOS-MORI poll of teachers carried out in the led up to GE2010. It found CON 29/LAB 40/LD 23. UKIP barely registered.
This is how Tim Montgomerie viewed the findings.
@georgeeaton @IainDale I don't understand why the privately courteous Gove is quite so confrontational with the teachers. His big weakness
