Is it just a case of collecting data from the door steps? They do their own polling but that will most likely be from canvas returns. They will have data going back many years which they can use for comparison. However, that relies - as all other means of polling does - on people telling the truth.

Toepoke Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Last night a Tory source told the Daily Mail: ‘We fully expect to fall behind Labour in a poll in the coming days. It will happen.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4551424/Longer-jail-terms-people-attack-children.html#ixzz4iScN8oE7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's largely the same in England as well in areas like the South West and is why they got hammered there in 2015 for going into a coalition with the Tories.

Ally Bongo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson received a higher satisfaction rating than First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in the survey. Thats when you know it's shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I can't remember who founded Yougov but I think Nadim Zahawi, a Tory MP, is involved. A serial trougher and pocket-liner. I don't trust Yougov to measure opinion and I suspect they will be doctoring their results to try to lead opinion as usual. Is it significant that there have been no specifically Scottish polls published recently? Have none been done or is it just that "they" don't like the results?

Thats when you know it's shite The media consistently confuse a poll about the effectiveness of a leader at their job with popularity. I agree that Davidson is 'doing a good job' of rallying the 55% and opposing Sturgeon. Doesn't mean i like her, which is what the headlines would have you believe. https://stv.tv/news/politics/1367060-poll-ruth-davidson-more-popular-with-scots-than-sturgeon/ Poll: Ruth Davidson more popular with Scots than Sturgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
