I know that you believe that the polls themselves are instrumental in determining voting intentions in a longer time-frame but do you really believe that Survation's results in this poll would have been significantly different if wholly conducted after the YouGov results were published?Ian Bairdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-23743461355376536842014-09-10T18:08:05.926+01:002014-09-10T18:08:05.926+01:0053N, 47Y.

Instead a Yes vote of 47% (which 2 weeks ago was considered very optimistic) and no increase or decrease. <br /><br />The hacks are calling this a "bad day for Salmond" (more like bad day for 47% of the Scottish electorate) but if on a "bad day" the best Better Together can do is no change with a high water mark of 47% then by god we can win this. I'm happy with this result, just as long as we can cover more ground in the other polls.

It turns out the ordinary scottish punters don't seem to be vastly impressed by the hilarious westminster omnipanic. <br /><br /><br />Eyerolling was the very mildest reaction that was encountered at the stalls and the Yes shops to the westminster panic squad's PR stunt. Considerably harsher language than the comedy fop Cameron's "Effing" <b>(ROFL)</b> was deployed. Utter disbelief was another very common reaction. <br /><br />I'm wondering how the shambolic No campaign can possibly top this. However, with 'master strategists' like Cameron, little Ed and Clegg at the helm it's surely only a matter of time before they do. The westminster bubble media are still wildly out of touch with what's happening on the ground which, to be fair, is only to be expected.<br /><br />Yes materials flying off the stall and the shelves yet again and it's simply getting busier every day.<br /><br />Mick Porknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-57910153304367978732014-09-10T17:41:50.201+01:002014-09-10T17:41:50.201+01:00Paul Hutcheon now tweeting hinting result good for...Paul Hutcheon now tweeting hinting result good for BT, so we can be fairly sure this poll is not gonna show any YES momentum and in the current climate that will be spun as some sort of mini-disaster for the YES camp.
