Its so funny, normally the Unionists are all over numbers like this!If you're talking about the Ashcroft poll I'm guessing because its meaningless pish having been conducted over months and months.Edited to say if Ashcroft had money to burn you'd think he'd do a decent size poll with a couple of thousand, referendum question first and no leading pre-amble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well why are the Unionists not on here either gloating or dissecting things? Why would someone gloat if they thought it was pish? As for dissecting things I don't know but I'd guess poll fatigue. 4 polls in a week and not one of them conducted properly or robust. It sums up the quality of the whole referendum debate to be honest. And still over a year to go. Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that what we're seeing here is yet another example of a lack of intellectual honesty. Posters like Barry wouldn't know intellectual honesty if it mimicked the actions of his children.

I'm away to have a completely joy free evening of reading the data sheets from the Ashcroft poll. I think the main gist of my reading will be "this is out dated pish". The silence is deafening right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 No great surprise that the one poll which put Yes ahead created more discussion than the three polls which reflected what we've seen in numerous other polls. It was the exact same on twitter and in media coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the exact same on twitter and in media coverage. Actually, the No polls last week also generated lots and lots of discussion and gloating. The Yes poll was almost completely ignored at first. In fact, if you want a clue, there have been 4 polls released, 3 polls have put No ahead, and one has put Yes ahead. The Guardian, Scotsman, and Daily Telegraph ran a detailed discussion of three of these polls. Which one did they ignore completely (as far as I'm aware)?
