ComRes Finally Catches Up On METHOD.

This month, ComRes experimented with including UKIP in its main question (WHY THE RIDICULOUS DELAY?) instead of listing it under “Other” parties, by splitting the sample and asking half of respondents, “would you vote Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, UKIP or some other party?” The results of this this experiment were as follows:-

Con 29%
Lab 31%
LD 7%
UKIP 24%
Green 5%
Other 5%                                                                                                         The poll also found a five-point increase since May 2012 in the proportion of Labour voters who would “seriously consider” voting for UKIP, up from 11 to 16 per cent.
