Anthony Wells has the details of the Tories private polling, done by Populus, which puts them on 36% to Labour’s 37%. The results are very different from YouGov’s in the Telegraph this morning that put Labour eight points ahead. If this Populus poll is right it surely makes an autumn election too risky for Gordon Brown. If YouGov is right then an autumn election is a distinct possibility. Iain Dale is tipping the fourth of October as a possible date.
