Brace yourselves. There’s going to be poll after poll after poll in the weeks leading to the election. And the onslaught starts in the Sun today, with the first of their YouGov daily tracker polls. It is also the first to be conducted in the aftermath of the Brown and Morgan interview.
So what’s the story? Well, Labour’s vote is more or less unmoved – suggesting, in turn, that the public were more or less unmoved by Brown’s interview with Piers Morgan. They’re on 30 percent (down 1), with the Tories on 39 percent (up 1), and the Lib Dems on 18 (down 1). That’s a 9 point lead for the Tories.
Of course, you could say that this is because the public didn’t like what they saw on the Brown interview. But I suspect it’s because they weren’t really that interested in the first place.
