Christmas Comes Early...

It's very early on a Sunday morning only one week before Christmas. I'm hearing word through the blogs that an truly staggering poll will be revealed later today. YouGov's research for the Sunday Times should reveal a Conservative lead of a massive 13 points. The Liberal Democrat lead isn't yet around (from what I can see), but topline voting intentions for the main two parties are LAB-CON-32%-45%.

What does this bring up?

  • We've made significant progress since the previously concerning/static 40% mark was reported. No more worrying?
  • We have made no major announcements but have gained. The main thing? Europe.

Are we about to see the Lisbon Treaty's impact on the Labour Party? Could a Conservative announcement regarding a retrospective referendum boost our ratings even further?

The highest Conservative rating ever recorded by YouGov. What a Christmas present for Conservatives across the country!
