Hold on just a second though, because the latest Populus numbers have Labour leading on 36% and the Tories on 33%.
So we're still neck and neck, then.
One interesting feature of the Guardian / ICM poll is a look at the single issue that most concerns voters.
Labour leader Ed Miliband will be pleased to read that the NHS is still at the top, by a country mile.
But he will be less happy to read that the 'Fears of smaller parties holding govt to ransom' is rising as a concern for voters - that's exactly what the Conservatives have been hoping would happen.
However, he's looking pretty confident and relaxed on the campaign trail. Perhaps because he has a potential second career as a bus driver if things go wrong at the ballot box.
David Cameron is looking less relaxed - clearly because he'll know many in his own party are concerned he's been looking too relaxed up to now.
The Prime Minister wants it to be very clear that he definitely does want to be Prime Minister again and is prepared to use minor obscenities to get that message across. Obviously I can't put the video of him describing himself as 'blo*dy lively' on this family-friendly blog.
There speaks (shouts) a man who knows, as we do, that his party is either three points ahead or behind according to the latest polling.
