ComRes sub-sample : SNP storm back into lead

The latest Scottish sub-sample from ComRes published tonight provides a measure of corroboration for YouGov's findings from a few days ago - both show a significant Labour lead being transformed into a small SNP advantage. This means that three of the last four Scottish sub-samples of UK-wide polls have shown the SNP ahead. The full figures are -

SNP 29% (+5)
Labour 25% (-13)
Conservatives 22% (+13)
Liberal Democrats 16% (-1)
Others 9% (-2)


As usual, I'll note that sub-samples of UK polls are inherently unreliable - and indeed because of the smaller sample size this probably applies even more so to ComRes and Populus polls than to YouGov.
