Following on from their teaser last month, Theos have released a much larger poll on the subject of evolution and religion carried out by ComRes. The full report is available here, hopefully the full tables will follow soon. I'll come onto the evolution questions in the later post,
No polls this Sunday apparently, so here's some articles to keep you busy. British pollsters used to have an amusing habit of fighting like ferrets in a sack. They've calmed down of late, but over at www.pollster.com Mark Blumenthal is chronicling a wonderful spat
The full tables from the YouGov poll in the Telegraph are now online here. As I suspected, the poll doesn't show that immigration is the "top issue" for anybody. The question actually gave people a list of 10 policy aims and asked which ones people would
YouGov's monthly poll for the Telegraph has topline figures, with changes from the previous YouGov poll, of CON 41%(-3), LAB 31%(-1), LDEM 15%(+1). While the poll still shows them at 40% and with a double point lead, the poll suggests a slight fall in Tory
Years ago I slated the BBC for commissioning a poll about religion and trying to draw conclusions about people from different religious groups using pathetically small sample sizes. They are at it again in this poll. The ComRes poll found that 63% of people agreed with the statement that "
ICM's monthly poll for the Guardian has voting intention figures, with changes from their last poll, of CON 42%(+2), LAB 30%(+2), LDEM 18%(-4). It was conducted between the 20th and 22nd of February. The raw changes from the last Guardian poll obviously suggest a sharp
Over at Political Betting Mike Smithson is taking John Rentoul to task for saying in his Sunday column that the polls could be overrepresenting Labour support by up to 5 points, and the Conservatives may only need a lead of 3 points to win. Mike is right to do so.
In the last few days a couple of people have asked about local government by-elections and whether we can tell anything about national levels of support from them, and I promised I would write a post about it. I have always been dubious in principle about whether local government by-elections
Ipsos MORI's monthly political monitor has been released. The topline figures, with changes from their last poll, are CON 48%(+4), LAB 28%(-2), LDEM 17%(nc). It was conducted between the 13th and 15th February. We've seen the Conservatives re-establishing their lead over the past
Comment Policy UK Polling Report has a policy of encouraging only NON-PARTISAN comments. The comments sections on most political blogs is either one sided, or dominated by petty political point scoring and tired rehersals of party political spin. I wanted something else. Therefore the rule in the comments section is
The last three polls, from ICM, Populus and ComRes, have shown slight variation but have all been reporting the same trend: Labour collapsing further and the Liberal Democrats benefitting. The Sunday Times's YouGov poll however paints a far more static picture. The topline figures, with changes from YouGov&
I'm expecting two new polls tonight, ComRes in the Sunday Indy and possibly YouGov in the Sunday Times. ComRes is the first to arrive. The topline figures, with changes from ComRes's last poll, are CON 41%(-2), LAB 25% (-3), LDEM 22% (+6). The poll was
