Brief edited extract from today's Times about the new Populus poll:

"The poll puts Labour on 31% (down 2% in a month), the Conservatives on 40% (up 3%), the Liberal 'Democrats' on 17% (down 2% on last month). This contrasts with an ICM poll in The Sunday Telegraph, done on Wednesday and Thursday, which put the Tories on 37% (down 3% on a month ago), Labour on 32% (down 1%) and the Liberal 'Democrats' on 21% (up 3%). The month-to-month fluctuations are largely because of shifts between the Tories and the Lib 'Democrats'. These may reflect short-term factors such as which party has been more in the news, and what they have been doing. The Conway affair has not altered the public’s view that both main parties are about the same on sleaze, at 73%, up six points since March 2006."
