Tory lead constant at 6%

The ConHome Poll of Polls shows a 5.8% Tory lead. This time last week it was 7.0%. Does this mean that the Ashcroft saga has had no significant effect or has it simply flattened any 'Brighton bounce'? I don't know. More interesting than this poll was the earlier C4/YouGov poll of Labour marginals. That showed the Tories doing better in battleground seats than in the nation as a whole but still just short of an overall majority.
