Opinion Polls
In the run up to the election, several polling organisations will carry out public opinion polling in regards to voting intentions. Results of such polls are displayed below. The figures in the right hand side columns show extrapolations from the raw data contained in the pdf files, and in several cases the percentages are not directly referable to that data.
ARPO, ICM, Ipsos MORI, Populus, TNS-BMRB (formerly TNS System Three) and YouGov are members of the British Polling Council, and abide by its disclosure rules.
