To be honest half a dozen pollsters doing one poll a month is enough at this stage in the electoral cycle. I think 2010 was the exception rather than the norm, because of the novelty of a coalition and the possibility it could collapse and force a snap election. I checked the other day and there had been 152 polls by this stage in the 2010-2015 parliament compared to 27 this time. |

Not such a surprise that news organisations have come to a view that opinion polls may not be the best use of limited funds.
Especially not after 7 May 2015.

Yes, I doubt we'll be seeing a return of the Sun's YouGov daily tracker any time soon. I often wonder how much money must have been blown on that. |

Populus' VI polls haven't had a sponsor since late 2012 when the Times gave up on them - they presumably carried on doing them for publicity, up to the election after which VI polls weren't such great publicity.
It appears that the Times is now using YG which would imply that News UK is consolidating with a single pollster and perhaps using them more sparingly.
The Guardian announced after the election that it wouldn't report ICM VI polls as discrete news stories for a while, and I dare say other media outlets might have followed their lead.

We don't appear to have heard anything from Populus - certainly in terms of voting intention - since the general election. Populus has published surveys since the GE, though no VI polls AFAICS. |

We don't appear to have had anything from YouGov since April in terms of Westminster voting intentions. And to think we used to get them on a daily basis during the last Parliament.

Anyone ever heard of Norstat? They're a market research company, based in France, but with offices in most Western Europe countries. |

Still sounds more believable - and credible - than ComRes.
