(Voodoo) voting intentions of GPs and NHS managers

There were two purported polls of medical professionals this week. A survey by Pulse, a magazine for GPs, surveyed 326 GPs on their voting intentions and found support standing at CON 52%, LAB 8%, LDEM 22%.

Meanwhile a survey of NHS managers by the Health Service Journal found voting intentions at CON 29%, LAB 50%, LDEM 16%.

I can't actually vouch for either of them. The latter one smells a bit voodoo-ish - it seems to have been a survey of visitors to the HSJ site, and I've no idea if measures were taken to ensure respondents actually were NHS managers, and even if they were, how representative of NHS managers they would have been. Equally, I don't know how those 326 GPs in the first poll were selected or how representative they were.

Even if we take it as "just a bit of fun" though, the contrast between NHS managers and GPs is stark to say the least!

UPDATE: A comment from a contributor below suggests both polls were just done as open access polls on the respective websites, with no obvious attempt at doing any weighting or controls to get an accurate sample. With that in mind, fun though the contrast is, they probably don't tell us anything at all about NHS managers or GPs.
