The opinion polls and the BBC

I presume that the BBC will lose interest in opinion polls again as four of the five opinion polls out today/tomorrow show an increased Conservative lead, the other shows it unchanged; and three show Labour in third place. I wonder which poll the BBC's Poll Tracker will have as its latest poll? My money would be on the BPIX poll, but the BBC don't include them (or Angus Reid) in Poll Tracker - I can hear the gnashing of teeth from here - so I suppose it will have to be the ICM poll.

YouGov in The Sunday Times:
Con - 35% - up 1%
Lab - 27% - down 1%
LD - 28% - level

ComRes in The Sunday Mirror/Independent on Sunday
Con - 38% - up 2%
Lab 28% - down 1%
LD - 25% - down 1%

ICM - Sunday Telegraph
Con - 36% - up 3%
Lab - 29% up 1%
LD - 27% - down 3%

Angus Reid in The Sunday Express
Con - 35% - up 2%
Lab - 23% - level
LD - 29% - down 1%

BPIX in The Mail on Sunday
Con - 34% - level
Lab - 27% - up 1%
LD - 30% - level

How about a poll commissioned by Peter Mandelson on behalf of the BBC, showing all of the others to be manipulating liars?

Wouldn't put it passed them.
