Tyrannical Theresa takes a timely tumble in the weekend polls

As the late, great Professor Anthony King would have said in his inimitable Canadian accent, "it's another terrrr-ible night for the Conservatives".  When a GB-wide YouGov poll a couple of days ago saw the Tory lead fall sharply from 23% to 16%, there was always just a chance it was a meaningless blip caused by random sampling variation, but that possibility has been snuffed out tonight by a new YouGov poll showing a further fall.  The lead now stands at just 13% - meaning it has been almost halved over the course of just a week.

Britain-wide voting intentions (YouGov) :

Conservatives 44% (-1)
Labour 31% (+2)
Liberal Democrats 11% (+1)
UKIP 6% (-1)
SNP/Plaid Cymru 4% (-1)

It's possible (perhaps likely) that there will be some kind of reversion to the mean in the next YouGov poll, but there can be no real doubt that at least some of the narrowing of the gap is genuine.  Other pollsters confirm it, with both ORB and Opinium agreeing that Labour have now broken back through the 30% barrier.

Britain-wide voting intentions (ORB) :

Conservatives 42% (-2)
Labour 31% (+2)
Liberal Democrats 10% (+2)
UKIP 8% (-2)
SNP 4% (-1)

Britain-wide voting intentions (Opinium) :

Conservatives 47% (+2)
Labour 30% (+4)
Liberal Democrats 8% (-3)
UKIP 7% (-2)
SNP 5% (+1)

Of course the support Labour have been clawing back is merely the low-hanging fruit - in other words, core voters who were perhaps never likely to desert the fold after considered reflection, but who temporarily got caught up in the hoo-ha over the calling of the snap election.  It's interesting to speculate what the receding of the Tory surge is going to mean for Scottish voting intentions, because the surge we saw here seemed directly tied to the Britain-wide one.  The obvious hope is that the new British trend will also be replicated north of the border, ideally with some Brexit/No supporters moving directly back to the SNP after flirting with Theresa May's "strength and stability" (ahem).  Less ideally, we'll see Tory flirters switching to Labour - but thanks to the vagaries of first-past-the-post, that would actually work in the SNP's favour more than Labour's.  By far the most important objective for the SNP is to increase the gap between themselves and the second-placed Tories - a healthy raw percentage share of the vote would just be the icing on the cake.

For what it's worth, the Scottish subsamples of both the ORB and Opinium polls give the SNP a very solid 20% advantage over the Tories.  The YouGov datasets haven't yet been published at time of writing.

If (and it is still a very big if) we find that the Scottish Tory surge has now passed its peak, we may have dodged a bullet as far as Thursday's local elections are concerned.  Most people who cast a postal vote do so as soon as they receive their ballot paper, which means that many will have voted prior to Easter - and of course the Tory surge wasn't triggered until the Tuesday after Easter, when Theresa May dropped her bombshell about a snap general election.  So if postal voters largely voted before the surge, and everyone else votes after the surge has receded, we could end up with a pretty decent result.

*  *  *

When the Sunday Times commission full-scale Scottish polls from Panelbase, they have an odd habit of holding back some of the supplementary results for a full week.  Accordingly, we now have some more details from last week's poll, and they're pretty encouraging from a pro-independence point of view.  Although (as we already knew) the headline independence question produced figures of Yes 45.2%, No 54.8%, it turns out that Panelbase also asked the question in a different way, with three possible options - independence within the EU, independence outside the EU, or remaining within the UK after it leaves the EU.  There is a small combined majority in favour of the two pro-independence options, with 41% favouring independence within the EU, and a further 10% wanting independence outside the EU.  The snag is that taking advantage of this natural majority would, on the face of it, require a kind of Schrodinger's Indy - ie. the prospect of somehow being inside and outside the EU simultaneously.  But it's not impossible that there may be a way of squaring that circle in the heat of an independence referendum.

The chances of that referendum taking place have been boosted by Panelbase's finding that a majority of respondents (52%) think that the SNP would have the right to hold a vote if they win a majority of Scottish seats at the general election.  That outcome is, of course, already pretty much a nailed-on certainty, regardless of whether the Tory surge recedes.  It would only require the SNP to win 30 seats - and yet the unionist media want us to believe that 45 seats (a 75% super-majority) would somehow be a disastrous result for Nicola Sturgeon!

  2. The SNP vote appears to be strong and stable if these sub-samples are to correct. The rise in the Tory vote might bring out an anti Tory vote.

      Every party in govt. that controls the electoral cycle expects sound kind of 'announcement bounce' when they call an election.
      They completely dominate the news for days if not weeks because they are the news and their actions are immediately given a megaphone along with the inevitable election coverage getting into gear and producing article after article and content across all broadcasters.

      Why so many people have forgotten this I have no idea.

      Perhaps because in a a true snap election there would have been plans long made to immediately capitalise on the announcement. Plans that would have usually involved a confident leader using the 'announce bounce' to then launch into a flurry of electoral activity and debates.

      Not so in a panic election where the follow-up by May has been farcical and comical. Completely exposing her weakness as a leader while reinforcing the doubts soft-tory voters might have had.

      You also don't waste the announce bounce completely for postal voters in council elections if this was all planned and not panic. Those voters are taking part in still very important local elections which will inevitably dominate the speculation about the westminster elections.

      Those will be real concrete results and not the less than 100% reliable snapshots that are opinion polls.

  6. It'll come down to the popular vote result. If Tories+Labour+Libs+UKIP gives a result greater than 50%, then we have, in effect, a referendum on a referendum that has produced a 'no' result. The SNP argument about 30 seats or more ignores two realities:

    1) Maths.

    12. A two for one deal on stupid comments. If the SNP aren't standing in the GE on an independence platform then in order to claim public rejection of a second referendum the "unionist" parties would have to officially mention that in their manifestos.

      That leads into Aldo's second comment. A majority at Westminster is kind of irrelevant in the case of Scottish self determination. Securing a Westminster majority on a platform of opposing that right won't sit well with a lot of foreign nations including the vast majority of those in the EU.

      The difference in franchises between a referendum where 16 and 17 year olds would save a say as well as EU citizens might also undermine any claim that a combined total of votes from parties who would be fools to include a fundamental rejection of one of the UK's committments as a UN member denoted anything.

Unfortunately results not broken down by nation and region (which is almost unheard of). Wonder why? ;) (Hint: the combined SNP/PC vote was 5% at UK GE 2015, so 6% must mean the SNP are above 50%, or else Plaid Cymru have quadrupled their vote.)

Corroborated with a previous table, it is more likely to be 6 for SNP/PC. Tentatively, that would raise the voting intention for the SNP into the high 40s percent-wise.

      The troll 'GWC2' / Fitalass calls scottish people "jocks", advocates arming Leave campaigners, arbitrary deportations and public mutilations, claimed Jo Cox's husband was a fascist, uses racial, homophobic and ethnic slurs, pretends to be Labour (badly) while espousing far-right racist hate-speech, praises Theresa May and the tories and displays a perverted poisonous obsession with Scotland's First Minister & her predecessor

    If you're contemplating voting Tory have a quick swatch at #CripTheVoteUK to see why you really shouldn't.

    Apart from the cruelty also read how disabled people have been forced to give up work due to Tory policy. Counterproductive and stupid.

      May's claim that the Tories cooperated with the Electoral Commission is a straightforward lie according to the Electoral Commission
