It's a small movement and I don't think we should read much into it but the Conservatives are up 2% and Labour down 1% on yesterday's YouGov poll for The Sun. Just wait until the Election campaign begins properly and we'll be drowning in polling numbers, all changing by the day.

Further findings from the poll - which was conducted between 4pm on Wednesday and noon on Thursday - are as follows:

• 67% of all voters either have no confidence in Labour (39%) or less confidence as a result of the botched coup against Gordon Brown (28%)
• 62% said that a leadership ballot would be a distraction from the problems that the country faces, such as the recession and terrorism, rising to 78% among Labour voters
• Only 29% of voters thought a leadership ballot as proposed by Hoon and Hewitt was a good idea

YouGov sampled 2,832 British adults for the poll.
