This Ipsos-MORI poll is going to be terrible news for Nick Clegg, and it will no doubt knock the wind out of his sails. The Conservatives are now on 52 points, a staggering 28 points clear of Labour and 40 points in front of the Lib Dems. In fact the Tories polled higher than all the other parties combined. Surely this will only put more pressure on Gordon Brown. There is a rumour that...

The latest Ipsos-MORI opinion poll for release at midnight by the Press Association is rumoured to show the Conservatives on 52% (up 4%), Labour on 24% (no change) and the Lib Dems on 12% (down 5%). This looks dire for the Lib Dems who could be being squeezed out but also for Labour as this poll was taken before the latest round of anti-Brown intra-party sniping and the further unravelling...

Mike Smithson has confirmed that IPSOS Mori will publish a poll tomorrow putting the Tories at a 28% lead. Note that Mori has been the most favourable poll for the Conservatives over the last year. However they have not gone far out of line with other polls. The only real consolation is that 24% seems to be a Labour hardcore for the moment and might ensure that we don't fall below...

Is the biggest loser Nick Clegg? As reported in my second update on the previous thread I have just spoken to a journalist who had the embargoed Press Association story and he has corroborated the figures. Clearly these are sensational numbers and will put pressure on both Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg. At least Labour has [...]

Not sure we really need an ipsos MORI poll to inform us that the economy is the major issue of the day. Tom rattles through the soft underbelly of this "PAM" poll. Immigration - which has now dropped way down - was I think TOP in the same poll in the April edition. The economy was nowhere way back then. Not in the top five as I recall. Having done quite a lot of field survey work for...

This is vital for a parties messaging and policy focus and is one of the best ways of gauging public opinion. Opposition may say you are bad at everything, but what appears on this list shows if that is the case or not....

He may have launched his leadership campaign with a pledge to appeal to "every woman in Britain", but David Cameron has yet to win over the fairer sex, according to an Ipsos Mori poll for the Fawcett Society. After Sarah Brown's pitch-perfect performance at the Labour Party conference in Manchester last week, Conservative Party strategists will be hoping that Samantha Cameron, can pull...

Around 95 per cent of Britons believe that the country is in the grip of a teen pregnancy epidemic, a myth that ministers and health agencies have warned is 'normalising' pregnancy amongst under 16's and pushing up teenage pregnancy rates, the Independent has learned. An Ipsos MORI poll found that almost a quarter of 15-24 years olds believe four out of 10 under-16's fall pregnant each...
