Ed Miliband sees the biggest drop The monthly online poll by ComRes for the Indy on Sunday/Sunday Mirror is just out and sees the coalition partners moving upwards while Labour stands still. The figures with comparisons on last month are CON 38% (+2): LAB 40% (nc): LD 11% (+1). These are all well within the margin of error though the blues will be pleased to be getting within two points of the reds. ComRes is continuing with its monthly leader…

Ipsos-MORI Will yesterday be seen as a turning point? The chart shows the recent trends in the MORI leadership satisfaction ratings and there’s little doubt that the PM has taken a hit as a result of the hacking scandal. The question now is whether this will be sustained and whether Cameron can reach satisfaction numbers that would point to the Tories winning a general election with an overall majority. As I keep on saying these findings historically are a much…

But are the changes just temporary? The weekly YouGov leader ratings for the Sunday Times are just out and show sizeable moves upwards in their net positions for both Miliband and Clegg. Cameron, meanwhile, also moves up a point. In the same poll a fortnight ago before the hacking scandal erupted Miliband was on 26% “well” and 60% “badly” – the worst figures of his time as leader. Today’s numbers show a net improvement over the two weeks of thirteen…

Cameron’s numbers equal their previous low The YouGov weekly leader ratings are out and show that EdM is making a little bit of progress in recovering his position against Cameron. As the chart shows his net negative has been reduced by 4 while Cameron’s has increased by 3. Clegg’s figures remain in the doldrums though he does see a slight improvement. I regard leader ratings as the best guide and are superior to voting intention numbers. For me the best…
