can someone explain to me what points are referring to in UK political polls?

"Support for the Conservatives stands at 41 percent, up three points on a previous poll in mid-July, while Labour is up 1 point at 27 percent. The Liberal Democrats are down two points at 18 percent, pollster Populus said."

i can’t make head nor tail or this. any help?

The points are percentage points. So, support for the Conservatives was 38 per cent in July and is now 41 per cent, etc.
