YouGov’s weekly poll for the Sunday Times has topline voting intention figures of CON 44%(-1), LAB 35%(+3), LDEM 9%(+1), UKIP 3%(-3). Changes are from the YouGov/Times polls in the week. The fieldwork was, as usual, conducted on Thursday afternoon and Friday, so was wholly after the Conservative manifesto launch (though, of course, before much of the media reporting and discussion of it)

As a footnote, apparently the fox-hunting vote was put in the manifesto to placate the farmers. There will be substantial reform of agricultural subsidies when we leave the EU as it cannot simply be ported across into UK legislation which won't appeal to many farmers. What is termed "flanking legilation" is required. This is one reason why Theresa May called the election as a large majority will be useful in getting controversial legislation through.
