    Next Poll

    that's 101%.

    Is it

    48.7 - 51.3

    or

    47.7 - 52.3

    ?

    When we see the raw data in the polls, why do they place such significance on the prior elections?

    Surely they should realise that the referendum is completely different. It's not about the next 5 years, but rather about the future of the country as an independent nation. Also, what about the people who are only registering for the first time?

    The more I look at these, the only consistent thing is 65+ and females voting for No. The rest has massive variances between polls, making me think that apart from females and 65+, the rest is a complete and utter nonsense (especially 16-24).

    Sorry. It was 48.7% yes; 51.3% no.

    I'll update it after I see the Panelbase data. :)

    Bbc Complaint Response

    Complaint
    We received complaints from viewers who felt Nick Robinson's report on the Scottish First Minister's press conference implied that Alex Salmond had not answered a question put to him.

    Response from BBC News
    The BBC's Political Editor Nick Robinson asked Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond two questions at his press conference on Thursday 11th September. The first question centred on the tax implications of RBS moving its legal headquarters to London; the second on why voters should trust a politician rather than businessmen.

    Nick Robinson's report showed the second question on trust, with a script line noting that Mr Salmond had not answered that point.

    Mr Salmond's answer on tax was lengthy. Since it was not possible to use it in full in a short news report, a series of clips were included making his central points - the job implications of the re-location of RBS, the accusation that the Treasury broke rules by briefing market sensitive information and his request that the BBC should co-operate with an enquiry. In addition Nick Robinson's script pointed out that the First Minister said there would be no loss of tax revenue.

    The BBC considers that the questions were valid and the overall report balanced and impartial, in line with our editorial guidelines.

    Could be similarities with the 92 General election there (hope not obviously), when Labour were ahead in the polls and exit polls, but the Tories won again...

    The Conservatives were predicted to be the largest party, but in a hung parliament, in the 1992 exit polls. Although they were still technically wrong, it's not as bad as people make out... (I don't know about the opinion polls though)...
