Um, I know Burney has assured us that everything is ok, but

For some of them, YouGov, for example, you have to register with them first, which means they're only asking the more politically engaged sort of people who would bother to register.

None of it really explains a 20 point swing in a month, though. It's still weird.

Perhaps there is no swing. It's all an illusion.

Yes, I'd say that is a possibility.

[Burney]

Yes, I'd say that is a possibility.

In one sense, the tories will be delighted, as nothing is better calculated to get the tory vote out than the terrifying perception that a Corbyn-led Labour Party will actually be running the country. A lot of waverers or people who've threatened to abstain or make a protest vote will come back into the fold on that basis alone.

Tele reporting the Conservatives lead is down to 1 point, 41 to 40.

This can't be happening. Shirley.

That is an absolutely shît poll with little or no credibility and which is dominated by online social media users (i.e. heavily biased towards 18-25 year-olds).

There have been a couple of very dodgy outlier polls. YouGov, which started all this crap, has form for this and is rapidly losing credibility.

On Friday, there are going to be a lot of awkward questions being asked of certain polling companies.

If you seek reassurance, this is what is taking place on the doorsteps.

The last few elections have generally shown that polls leading up to the vote are not to be trusted... exit polls, on the other hand, are almost spost on in the last few elections

Well of course. Pre-election polls record the views of a self-selecting group who want to talk to pollsters. Exit polls involve actual voters.

But in the 80's and 90's the exit polls were miles out... the last few elections have changed that.

Neil Kinnock is the PM!

Though the polls were wrong about Brexit.
