Con 31

I do think Approval is the real figure, at that level it is almost impossible to retrive it

What was ours say in 2008/9 ?

Much worse, -62 at the low point.

and it wasn't retrieved...

nah no chance when that many disapprove on your own side ...

if they start to regular ones of -40 thats it game over for certain

will be interesting if the Leveson issue has any impact on leadership ratings the next few days

Strange that approval goes down whenever the Labour lead is cut, and vice versa. I doubt the Leveson issue will have any impact at all. To the average man on the street it matters not a jot.

It does matter if you hear Cameron has let down the parents of ...

Again we see the labour increase lead but approval slightly increase, counter intuitive to what you should expect. Lead now at 12

Approval -35

Both the approval and the Labour lead have been in the same range for a long time now, it's just that YouGov's figures seem to often bounce back and forth from one end of the range to the other. If that's mostly noise, the fact that approval and Labour lead are going in opposite directions doesn't necessarily signify.

That said, the bounciness of the figures doesn't engender confidence in their accuracy.

That is the problem with polls at this stage of the electoral cycle. They are a soft as sh*t and always have been.

Oh so emotional blackmail is what we're using now? Wave around a few dead children to get the State approving the content of newspapers?

Lovely stuff!

Eastleigh slowly sinking from memory I guess?

Budget morning scores:

Lab 41
Con 31
LibDem 11

Approval -38 (at least this measure seems to be more in sync with the headline figures now)

[Deleted]

Ok lets see the short term budget impact, suspect none at all

(and to confirm last night, that I will no longer post in the General forum, not the others where more sensible debate happens, blocked others I do not wish to communicate with)

[The Bishop]

He can't read it boogs, he's blocked you.

Anyway, today's poll (mostly pre-Budget)
