Not so sure it is a one off, other polls published this weekend also show slight drops in Tory support and Labour creeping to around or just above their 2015 election levels, but the Sunday Times poll is the only one taken after the launch of the Tory manifesto.
I'm not expecting a Corbyn led Government or anything like that (polls have become pretty discredited in recent years and I have a lifetime's experience of them under estimating the size of the Conservative vote on polling day), but I do think our strong and stable leader made an error with those plans for how social care would be financed.
I think they have actually run a decent campaign which is a surprise given that under Corbyn the party has lurched from crisis to crisis. However, if it did look remotely close I am sure the press have a few tricks up their sleeves for the final week.
I think in most polls the Tories have benefited from a massive swing in support from UKIP to them but will these people actually turn out on 3rd June?
"Theresa May, the leader of the UK Conservative Party has pledged to create new internet that would be controlled and regulated by government on re-election. "

I think this plus the dementia tax and fracking could change everything. There are a lot of interesting comments on Slashdot. The Conservatives are making so many mistakes I think someone in the party doesn't want to win this election.
May has always backed overly authoritative policing of the internet despite the mass collection of data becoming a weakness as terrorists become more reliant on lone-wolf attacks. That and absolute support for Trump's indication of further warfare will make the UK a more dangerous place.
There's no 3 because that biggest constituent, the ones who don't use or understand the internet, will only read rubbish in the papers about it and think it should be controlled. The internet is too big for people to not have an opinion, whether misinformed or not.
May has clearly forgotten about why she claimed she called the election - ie to endorse Brexit.
Her real purpose in calling it was of course to try to destroy Labour while Labour was weak.
However she is now getting bitten on her scrawny arse because of her attacks on education , pensioners , the health service etc.
I think she took too much for granted and hope she gets a lesson from the electorate.
The shitstorm if the Conservatives don't win would be incredible
Well, I don't think I said that I thought that he could run the Country however, next month either JC or TM will be running the country and it's not something i'm particularly looking forward too, based on the headline manifesto grabbers of Lab and Con, I take the view that TM is panning out to be one despicable human being, and that whilst JC and his mob at Labour no doubt will govern with chaos, it will be unintentional chaos, but with the interests of the have nots rooted in his thoughts, TM will shitting on the have nots intentionally, she's basically said it within her manifesto, unless everybody is/are only interested in themselves and how much more they can earn at the expense of others, I think it's a human thing to do, to rid this country of TM and the greed of those like her, whilst no different to many countries, the distribution of wealth in this country is shameful, how much wider will it get after another 5 years of TM and her cronies?.
If it weren't for Brexit then it would be a much closer race. The "fear factor" of having Corbyn et al at the Brexit negotiating table is a major issue in this election and the Tories are milking this as much as they can.
They did indeed Eric and as Mervyn King pointed out the financial collapse was not down to the Labour Government
You Gov are the polling company that is consistently having the Conservative lead at lower levels than their rivals and they seem to be keen to talk this latest one down themselves, but, a series of interviews carried out over a week produced findings that suggest there could be a hung Parliament - apparently the model used for this latest poll was consistently putting the leave side ahead this time last year at a time when most polls were saying remain would win.
