UK General Election 2015: Conservatives take four-point lead in latest polling
The Conservatives have pushed into a four-point lead in the run-up to the general election, according to one poll published today.
The ICM poll, conducted for the Guardian, is the biggest Tory surge in two years and is only one point below their showing in the 2010 general election.
- David Cameron’s party is now on 36 per cent, compared to Labour which fell by one point to 32 per cent. The poll interviewed around 1,000 adults between the 13 and 15 of this month.
The results will disappoint the UK’s smaller political parties.

Both Ukip and the Greens saw their share of the vote shrink by two points. Nigel Farage’s right-wing anti-EU party has not performed well recently, appearing shambolic and disorganised in the run-up to the last 80 days before the general election.
The Greens, who recorded the highest approval rating since 1989 last month, may also be dismayed by their showing.
The environmental party, led by Natalie Bennett, is hoping to field more candidates than ever before after a successful crowd-funding operation raised over £70,000.
