In the run up to the general election on 7 May 2015, various organisations carried out opinion polling to gauge voting intention. Results of such polls are
displayed in this article. Most of the polling companies listed are members of the
British Polling Council(BPC) and abide by its disclosure rules.
The date range for these opinion polls is from 6 May 2010 (the date of theprevious general election) to 7 May 2015.
Most opinion polls cover only Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Separate polls covering constituent countries of the UK and English regions
are reported further below while polling of individual constituencies and groups of them (such as groups of mar
ginals) is covered in a separate article.

However the actual results showed a stronger performance by the Conservatives, which gave them an overall majority, since Labour also had a weaker
performance than the polls had suggested.[1][2][3] When the exit poll was initially presented, some commentators and politicians doubted it, with Paddy Ashdown even declaring "If this poll is correct I
will publicly eat my hat on your programme" in response to the apparently poor results for the Liberal Democrats.[4] The exit poll was eventually proved to have in fact overestimated the Liberal
Democrats' performance. If the Survation telephone poll (6 May) had been published it would have produced results within 1% of the election results.

tended to hold either third or fourth place in each individual poll. The combined Green parties of England and Wales and Scotland have most frequently polled fifth and have on occasions polled fourth –

British National Party, the Scottish National Partyand Plaid Cymru. Detailed poll results that break down 'others' for some dates in 2014 and 2010 are available in a second table, below

Methodology
Each polling organisation uses slightly different methodology in their collection of data; a brief des
cription of each company's methods is as follows:
Angus Reid Public Opinioncollects its data through onlineinternet surveys, and demographically weights its data to be representative of the wholepopulation in terms of age,
gender, social class, the region of the country lived in andnewspaper readership. Past vote weighting is used, and is calculated separately for respondents from
Scotland and
respondents from England and Wales, whilst those saying they do not know how they will vote are asked which party they are leaning towards, and any responses to this are used
[29]
as a full response, whilst those still unsure being discounted from the final calculation of levels of party support.
BMG Research[30] is a Birmingham-based social research company which carried out its first political poll from 25 to 27 April 2015 for PoliticsHome, [31] May2015[32] and the
Electoral Reform Society, with the voting intention questions being commissioned by May2015. [13] BMG carries out its fieldwork online and weights for past vote and likelihood to
vote with people who did not vote at the previous General Election weighted down by 50%. [33] BMG Research is not a member of the British Polling Council but is applying for
membership and abides by BPC rules in carrying out opinion polls. It is recognised by the BPC as a market researcher .[34][35]
ComRes uses both telephone interviews and online surveys to collect its data; all polls will be conducted using one method exclusively . It is not shown explicitly in the tables in this
article whether a particular poll has been conducted by telephone or online but in general those polls with the smaller samples (~1,000) are telephone polls and those with the
larger samples (~2,000) were conducted online. The data tables will confirm how the poll was conducted. Whatever the data collection method, all respondents are weighted
according to gender, age, social class, household tenure, work status, number of cars owned and whether or not they have taken a foreign holiday in the previous three years.
Both telephone and online polls are weighted according to past vote in the last general election, whilst telephone polls also use data from the last 12 ComRes telephone-conducted
opinion polls. ComRes compensates for those respondents who says they do not know by asking them instead which party they most clearly identify with, whilst all respondents
are weighted according to likelihood to vote on a scale of one to ten, with respondents saying their likelihood of voting is less than four being discounted entirely , and respondents
saying their likelihood is more than five being progressively weighted, with a five-out-of-ten likelihood being weighted as half a response and a ten-out-of-ten likelihood being
weighted as one whole response. [36]
ICM also collects its data through telephone interviews, and also demographically weights its respondents according to their gender , age, social class, household tenure, work
status and the region of the country they live in. It weights respondents according to the levels of support a party received in the previous general election and the last 25 ICM
opinion polls and, if a past vote is given, this is used to allocate a response to those who say they do not know how they will vote, although such a response is counted as only half
of one whole response. ICM also weights its respondents as to how likely they say they are to vote, with respondents who say they are certain to vote given a higher weighting
than those who are not as certain, while if a respondent did not vote at the previous general election, their turnout weighting is automatically reduced by half.[37]
Ipsos MORI collects its data through telephone interviews, and weights its respondents to be demographically representative of gender , age, social class, work status, work sector ,
household tenure and the region of the country they live in. Data is not weighted according to the way respondents voted at the previous general election, any respondents who
say they do not know how they will vote are discounted, and only the responses of people who says they are certain to vote are included in the final calculation of levels of support
for each party.[38]
Lord Ashcroft commissions and publishes polls as Lord Ashcroft Polls. On 12 May 2014 he published the first in a series of opinion polls to be published weekly up to the 2015
UK general election.[39] These polls are carried out by telephone, and are past-vote weighted with an allowance for false recall. They are also weighted for likelihood to vote, with a
proportion of Don't Knows reallocated to how respondents said they voted at the 2010 general election. The Conservatives, Labour , Liberal Democrats and UKIP are prompted for .
Lord Ashcroft does not disclose the organisations which carry out his fieldwork, but states that a number are used. [40] Initially, the methodology of the weekly Ashc roft National Poll
[41] [42]
was said to be similar to that used by Populus before they moved to polling online. He is not a BPC member; he was initially invited to join but the BPC now states that he is
not eligible as he does not work for multiple clients.[43]
Opinium surveys are conducted online via web interviewing, drawing a sample of responses from the company's panel of around 30,000 people. This sample is representative of
the adult population of Great Britain in the areas of age, gender , regional location, working status and social grade, as according to the latest Office for National Statisticsdata.
Responses from different demographic groups are handled appropriately to compensate for dif ferential response rates in these different groups.[44]
Populus conducts its surveys over the telephone, and weights all respondents according to gender , age, social class, household tenure, work status, the number of cars they own,
and whether they have taken a foreign holiday in the past three years, to be representative of the whole electorate. Respondents are weighted according to their past vote and the
levels of support for each party recorded in the previous 20 Populus opinion polls. Respondents who say they do not know how they will vote are allocated according to how they
voted at the last general election, at a reduced weighting of 0.5 for previous Conservative or Labour voters and 0.3 for previous Liberal Democrat voters. All respondents are also
weighted according to how likely they are to vote, with those certain to vote given the highest weighting. [45]
Survation opinion polling is achieved through online surveys, and all data is weighted to represent the wider population of Great Britain in terms of gender , age, socio-economic
group, religion, how the respondent previously voted, and stated likelihood of voting in the next general election. Respondents who are either undecided or refuse to state how they
would vote are excluded from the final results, unless they have provided details of how they have voted in the past, in which case, that information is used to adjust the results. [46]
TNS-BMRB[n 12] interviews a representative sample of adults aged 18+. All interviews are conducted in respondents' homes, although the voting intention data is collected using
self-completion methods. The data is weighted twice: firstly to match population totals for age, sex, social grade, working status, presence of children, 2010 voting patterns and
[47]
region; and secondly, for voting intention questions only, an additional 'likelihood-to-vote' weight is applied.
YouGov collects its data through an online survey , and weights its respondents to be representative of the population as a whole in terms of age, gender
, social class, identification
with a political party, region of the country and newspaper readership. Respondents are weighted according to how they voted in the previous general election in order to achieve a
sample that is reflective of each party's level of support at that election, whilst those respondents who say they do not know who they will vote for are discounted from calculating
levels of support for each party.[48]
