UK Opinion Poll 2015: Latest Opinium  & YouGov Polls for 2015 general election, YouGov/S Times, latest  Opinion poll for UK parliament election, Opinion poll for General election 2015, UK Election opinion poll

There are only two voting intention polls in the Sunday papers – the regular weekly Opinium and YouGov polls for the Observer and Sunday Times respectively.

The Opinium/Observer poll has topline figures of CON 35%, LAB 33%, LDEM 6%, UKIP 15%, GRN 7%. This is the first time that Opinium have shown a Conservative lead since back in 2012, just before the Omnishambles budget.

As ever though, it’s just one poll – taking a broad average of the polls suggests that the actual position of public opinion is a very small Labour lead, so it’s inevitable that normal sample variation will spit out some Tory leads from time to time. Doesn’t mean much unless they start getting more frequent.

The YouGov/Sunday Times poll has toplines of CON 33%, LAB 34%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 13%, GRN 6%. The one point Labour lead is very much in line with YouGov’s average.

The 13 percent figure for UKIP is equal to the party’s lowest from YouGov this year, but a lowest we’ve already seen a couple of times, so again, not necessarily anything new.

Approval ratings

Prime Minister David Cameron has broken even with a net approval rating of 0%, the highest score since his EU veto at the end of 2011.

Labour leader Ed Miliband remains far behind with -28%, ahead of Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg on -44% but behind UKIP leader Nigel Farage on -24%.
