I think its probably closer and suspect that there is still an issue about phone bias in polls. Older people still tend to have a landline and answer it. Younger people tend to operate near exclusively from mobiles; ok, you can take that into account and they do, but I would reckon also that on mobiles young people also simply don't answer any unexpected call coming in from numbers which don't have a recognised name-tag as so many of them are sales calls. I can't see that they can get a representative sample without much difficulty and greater expenditure so I reckon the polling bias favours the Tories.
