Labour trailing in third place in five Sunday polls... but Ipsos-Mori suggests the Lib Dem surge has receded
The first of a number of Sunday newspaper opinion polls has just emerged - from an organisation called OnePoll, with which I am unfamiliar, for The People newspaper. According to People political editor Nigel Nelson, their numbers are:
Conservatives - 32% (+5)
Lib Dems - 32% (-1)
Labour - 23% (no change)
Comparisons are with the OnePoll survey for last Sunday's edition of the paper.
OnePoll surveyed 2,571 voters between 22nd and 24th April.

- 66% say they are ‘absolutely certain’ to vote, the highest registered in a ComRes poll of this campaign;
- Taken alongside responses on voting intention, this would suggest that the number of people who are ‘absolutely certain’ to vote but who are undecided about who to vote for now stands at 3.3 million British adults;
- 54% agree that a hung parliament, with no party having a majority, would put the economic recovery at risk (31% disagree) - with 57% of people who are undecided or refuse to say how they would vote agreeing with the statement.
Meanwhile, the ICM survey for the Sunday Telegraph has Labour on its lowest figure for six months:
