Conservative party has a 16 point lead in the latest YouGov opinion poll

YouGov's latest poll which will appear in tomorrow's Sunday Times puts the Conservatives on 43%, Labour on 27% for Labour and the Lib Dems on just 16%

To put this in context, Gordon Brown has now taken Labour to its lowest poll rating since 1983, when Michael Foot was the party’s leader.

If the results were repeated at a general election, Cameron would lead his party to a Commons majority of around 120.


So far not a sniff of any coverage of this story on the BBC news. Although I seem to remember they were very keen to cover a poll a few months back that showed Labour were cutting the Conservative party's lead.
