Tories 17% ahead in ComRes poll
The previous ComRes poll was a pretty strange one, but the latest survey - for The Independent on Sunday - puts the Conservatives up 9% on 39%. This puts ComRes back in sync with the other four main pollsters.
Three other findings:
- 45% told ComRes that they still thought the Conservatives weren't ready for government.
- 50% feared that the Conservatives would cut public spending "too much".
- 43% agreed, 42% disagreed that "the Conservatives would be better than Labour at running the NHS, schools and other public services."
