Virtually every other pollster, with much larger samples, show the Conservatives moving into majority territory.

One thing I noticed is that according to PollTracker Nanos uses live phone interviews while rest seem to all use interactive voice response or web surveys. There is a phenomenon of the "Shy Tory" where people are less likely to admit voting for conservatives. I wonder if the method of polling skews the answers?
