Worth mentioning as it’s got very little publicity today:
Conservatives 38% (-3%)
Labour 31% (-2%)
Liberal Democrats 20% (+3%)
That’s now the fifth poll in a row which has shown the Liberal Democrat support to be up compared with the previous poll from the same company (one each from Populus, Communicate Research, ICM*, YouGov and MORI). The average scores across the five are Conservative 37.0%, Labour 29.8% and Lib Dem 20.2%.
Quite how Conservative Home reports the Liberal Democrat figure in its poll of polls to be 17.75% (see pages like this one) is a bit of a mystery. Insert frothing at mouth about dodgy statistics, lying politicians, fake numbers etc here if you wish, though it’s more likely that someone hasn’t got round to updating their graphic for quite a few weeks now.
* Note: I’ve excluded today’s ICM poll in the News of the World as the individual party figures were not published. Instead I’ve used the last Guardian ICM poll.

I think it’s more to do with the fact that ConHome’s Poll of Polls is updated much more enthusiastically when the Tory percentage has increased…
