The latest Guardian / ICM poll records the slightest of post-conference poll boosts for the Tories. They’re on 42 percent (up 1 on a poll conducted last week); Labour are on 30 percent (down 2); and the Lib Dems are on 17 percent (down 1). Given that the financial turmoil threatened to make the Birmingham gathering a non-event, I imagine Team Cameron will be happy with this modest upwards shift – although they’ll rightly be waiting for a fuller picture to emerge, as more opinion polls are released throughout October.
P.S. Brown’s called a press conference for 1615 today. We’ll be live-blogging it on Coffee House – stay tuned.
