Opinion polls in 2004

I've charted all the opinion polls from 2004, courtesy of Anthony Wells' site. Also Anthony's blog has moved to here.

Looking at the charts there is quite a bit of variation. Generally Labour have recovered from about June and the Conservatives have lost ground, with the Lib Dems losing out in the second half of the year. But not all pollsters follow this pattern, YouGov have Labour flat with the Lib Dems gaining. Certainly I think it would be odd to say the General Election is a foregone conclusion.
