Other countries operate a mix of public and private.

There is no point polling 1,000 people if they're all by some freak coincidence Lib Dems, for example, and historically supporters of left parties have been more willing to participate in opinion polls. Survation also reports what their respondents said they did in 2015 - the last actual UK General Election - but do not balance by it. Interestingly this poll only had 43% of respondents remembering voting SNP in 2015, some 7% below the actual level and exactly the same as the proportion Survation estimates voting SNP today. Indeed, the number of respondents saying they voted SNP in 2015 and the number of respondents saying they would vote SNP this time are exactly the same - 350. (The share saying they voted Tory in 2015 was about three points too high as well.)<br /><br />Had Survation chosen methodologically to weight to how people said they voted in the last UK election rather than the last Holyrood election, the projected SNP topline would have been somewhat higher. Arguments in favour of doing this are that it would be comparing election like-with-like, arguments against are that another election in between would confuse memories and lead to inaccurate responses. This second effect happened in the run up to the 2010 election, when far too many people 'remembered' voting SNP the previous time - probably recalling the 2007 Holyrood election rather than the by-then dim and distant 2005. This one is down to a judgement call for the pollster, but if they predict 43% on the eve-of-poll and the SNP get 50%, don't say we didn't warn you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-46901926307055579252017-04-24T15:05:53.772+01:002017-04-24T15:05:53.772+01:00Well worth considering this when it comes to recen...Well worth considering this when it comes to recent polling.<br /><br />https://marcobiagi.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/survation-23-april-2017.html<br /><br /><br /><br />1) The Tories are the most fired up right now<br /><br />97% of last-time Tories rank themselves as 9-10 out of 10 certain to vote. That is astonishing and almost unprecedented. It boosts their projected share of the vote. 2014 No voters are similarly more fired up than their Yes equivalents. 87% of 2014 Nos consider themselves 9-10 out of 10 whereas only 80% of Yes voters do. That may look like a small gap, but in polls there is a strong and long-observed tendency to feel pressure to say you will vote. Small gaps of those willing to say may suggest larger gaps in practice.<br /><br />Similarly, a both proportionately and absolutely greater number of 2015 SNP and Labour (and 2016 SNP and Labour) now declare themselves undecided than 2015 and 2016 Tories do. <br /><br /><br />cont.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-38926868057995393822017-04-24T14:10:14.256+01:002017-04-24T14:10:14.256+01:00I agree, we can only win from the SNP/Tory polaris...I agree, we can only win from the SNP/Tory polarisation of Scottish politics.
