not when that is all I saw on twitter

now I have seen the full one and the approval rating is -38 not sure but I think this is the lowest recorded for this government.

Now this looks like a rogue poll BUT if not what has caused the sudden swing, surely not the gay marriage issue ?

Nobody else could be bothered, it seems

Possibly because when poor old Robo used to do it people slagged him for it...

[The Bishop]

The lowest govt approval rating was (I think) -43, at the height of the "Omnishambles" last spring.

why rogue? it fits in with the general rise in Lab leads from youGov - if anything the 7% lead was rogue... see Polbetting for some figures...
What must be gutting for Cameypants is the failure of his speech to have changed much beyond a 2-3% fall in UKIP support - not all in the Tories favour - if anything it's the LDs who oddly seem to have improved recently...

Mrs Thatcher's visit to the USSR in early 1987 helped a great deal towards the Conservatives' re-election that year.

Yes - a lot of people probably hoped she fk off back there and stay...

I am sure a lot of us have read Anthony's summary of the poll

ukpollingreport.co.uk/

of course we know this is a one day snapshot but for 70% to see the Tories as split whilst a good majority support gay marriage shows how wrong many in the Tory party are.

Dont they ever learn ?

Biggest ever YG poll lead for Labour

[East Anglian Lefty]

The big change from the Sunday Times poll is notable. Is YouGov's methodology for the two identical? Because from memory I recall a few other occasions where the sunday poll has been much closer than the weekly ones, and I'm unsure if that's coincidence or caused by the way it's set up.

[The Bishop]

The polls are conducted in the same ways for both papers, yes. But there is some anecdotal evidence that the ST survey gets more pro-Tory samples at times (for varying reasons)

[The Bishop]

is there anywhere with a graph of those polls, preferably with a 7 day rolling average or such like to smooth out some of the statistical noise
