“Labour’s hopes of avoiding a general election rout at the hands of David Cameron’s Tories will be boosted today as a new poll shows a sharp fall in the Conservative's lead, raising the possibility of a hung parliament”
reports The Observer today. The figures show Conservative support slipping to 37% - only six per cent ahead of Labour. However, the field work for this “new poll” conducted by Ipsos MORI was undertaken between 13th and 15th November 2009, the same period as The Guardian’s ICM poll published six days earlier. The Guardian/ICM poll disclosed the Conservatives as being thirteen points ahead of Labour.
One of these polls looks like a rogue. Now let me think…which one?
