In terms of the previous methodology that probably equates to a Labour lead of 9% or 10%.

Interesting. Feels a bit obvious that your financial situation significantly impacts your voting behaviour, but the discussion around ‘is class politics dead?’ may lead you to think otherwise.

Reminds me of something I read about a study in the Netherlands that found being poor makes you more left-wing and being worried about becoming poor makes you more right-wing

I'd love to see this done on 2019 votes. I suspect Labour have benefitted recently from a large swing amongst people who are "coping"

Those with a right wing mindset on average prioritise earning money in their life choices (eg going for more employable degrees), although being well off undoubtedly also makes people more conservative minded.

I suspect Labour have benefitted recently from a large swing amongst people who are "coping" In the thread he shows that Labour has got the biggest swing among ‘Coping’ and the least among ‘Comfortable’. Given the margin of error and the fact the category composition will have significantly changed from 2019, im not sure how useful a comparison can be.

so that's sampled almost entirely after Sunak's announcement. It doesn't seem to be having, so far, any impact on voting intention. Possibly when households actually receive the money it may relieve the Tories' position a bit, but a lot of water is likely to flow under the bridge by that time.

The fairly persistent 6-8% figure for the Greens could be significant. (2.7% at 2019 GE and 1.6% in 2017 GE, for reference.)
I suspect it reflects (a) genuine increased interest/support for environmental policies, especially as new cohorts of voters come on stream, and (b) lack of enthusiasm for both Starmer and the LDs among some left-of-centre voters, some of which is quite sticky (i.e. Corbynite) but some is just due to failure to grab the imagination by Starmer and the LDs generally.
But if it breaks tactically for Tory challengers - and I think Green voters are quite prone to "Progressive Alliance" attitudes - then there is another five or so percentage points that could quite easily go to Lab, LD, SNP and PC when minds are concentrated by a GE campaign.

If Australia is anything to go by where the greens have had a break through in a majoritarian voting system it may indicate direction of travel. Particularly if you include the teal independents who are green conservatives.

I still think the "Green Tory" is an under-recognised phenomenon and I wouldn't be surprised if c. 1-2% of the Green vote actually came from the Tories, and might go back there in a GE

The Greens vote will probably be squeezed come the general election and I would expect a lot more of it to go Labour/Lib Dem than Conservative.

Full results: I make it the highest Lib Dem figure in an Opinium poll this parliamentary term.

their polls are out of line with everyone else's though. Other polls find the opposite.
