Opinion polling for the 2010 United Kingdom general election
In the run up to the general election of 2010, several polling organisations are carrying out opinion polling in regards to voting intention in Great Britain (ie. the UK excluding Northern Ireland, which is usually excluded from such voting intention surveys). Results of such polls are displayed below.
The election will take place on 6 May 2010, coinciding with the local elections. The previous general election was held on 5 May 2005.
Rumours in autumn 2007 that Gordon Brown was about to call a general election imminently put all polling organisations, the press and political parties on an election footing, but he eventually announced that he would not seek a dissolution. According to many media and political figures, this was because he believed that Labour was likely to lose its majority in a snap general election. Gordon Brown has maintained that Labour would have won but he did not believe an early election was in the national interest.
Graphical summaries
The following graph shows ICM poll results since the last general election. Results for Conservative are in Blue, Labour in Red, Liberal Democrat Yellow and Others in Grey. Other polling houses may show different results, and all polls are subject to a margin of error and possible house bias.

Poll results
Poll results are initially listed in reverse chronological order showing the most recent first, using the date the fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication.
The figure given in the 'lead' column is the lead the highest polling party has over Labour or the Conservatives, unless otherwise stated.
Most of the polling companies listed are members of the British Polling Council, and abide by its disclosure rules. BPIX is not a member of the BPC, and does not publish detailed methodology and findings.

Notes
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u It should be noted that BPIX is not a member of the British Polling Council, unlike the other main pollsters such as YouGov, ComRes, Populus, Ipsos MORI, and ICM. Therefore, the full details of its polls are not subject to public disclosure.
- ^ Opinion polling is conducted on a Great Britain basis, and election forecasting also uses GB figures. Northern Ireland, being outside the main party system, is treated separately.
P – The dates when the fieldwork for this poll was carried out is unknown, therefore the date of publication has been given.
