There has been an update to Electoral Calculus published on 31 January 2016 at 
With only a light amount of polling in January, there was no clear trend. 

The Conservatives maintain a lead over Labour of around 10% (including correction for pollster bias), and the other parties are fairly stable too. 

Further analysis of the pollsters' error in May 2015 has been provided both by the BPC/MRS inquiry preliminary report, and by the British Election Study. These both point towards methodological problems which led to Labour voters being over-represented in the online and telephone polls. 
The most recent polls from the five pollsters who published polls in January are: 

Panelbase (Times) has Con 39, Lab 31, Lib 6, UKIP 14, Green 5 ComRes (IoS; SMirror) has Con 40, Lab 29, Lib 7, UKIP 16, Green 3 Survation (Mail on Sunday) has Con 37, Lab 30, Lib 7, UKIP 16, Green 3 ICM (The Guardian) has Con 40, Lab 35, Lib 6, UKIP 10, Green 3 Ipsos-MORI has Con 40, Lab 31, Lib 7, UKIP 11, Green 4 
The averages: Con 40 (nc), Lab 30 (nc), Lib 7 (+1), UKIP 14 (+1), Grn 4 (nc). 
The new national prediction is that the Conservatives will have majority of 46 seats, winning 348 seats (+2 seats since 3 January).
