Michael W Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 That the pundit trying to twist things or am I missing something? Survation's Twitter account has posted the 50-37 figures. Are you looking at the last poll? The data tables for the most recent one probably won't be up yet. Saw some pie charts on Twitter too - 65% unchanged by the debate, 22% more likely to back No and 13% more likely to back yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data tables for the most recent one probably won't be up yet. I'm saying last weeks poll was No 46% Yes 40% and now the latest poll out today is No 50% Yes 37%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Eh. Are the pundit and Lex looking at the same poll? This one from notorious pro yes pollster Survation? No 50 (+4) Yes 37 (-3) DK 13 (-1) #Momentum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah that's yes pretty much fucked if it's a consistent methodology with their last poll 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You tell me? http://survation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Scottish-Poll-Aug-3rd-MOS-Without-Demographics.pdf Latest poll is: No - 45.9% Yes - 40.2% DK - 13.9% Without DKS that would be: No - 53.31% Yes - 46.69% Last poll was: No - 46.0% Yes - 40.9% DK - 13.2% Without DKs No - 52.93% Yes - 47.07% So nothing of statisical significance. No Commonwealth Games bounce effect either which is a little surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but there is no way that is the case!!! ^^^ Head well and truly buried in the sand here. This is from data taken since the debate. That's why it's so bad for yes.

I've noticed, I'm not having it, there is absolutely no way that YES support is currently sitting at it's lowest point all year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taza Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've noticed, I'm not having it, there is absolutely no way that YES support is currently sitting at it's lowest point all year. TBF there are a lot of stupid people out there. I've met quite a few of them over the last couple of days. We need a game changer. Do you think we could get Bruce Forsythe to change sides? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You need to give the other polls a chance to report before you can get the whole picture. I think we're all guilty to an extent of burying our heads in the sand a bit about the referendum and the support each side enjoys, probably due to our own preference on the matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just checked their twitter and you are correct. This tweet was even more amazing: "Debate: Darling emerges as clear winner - 53% who watched say Darling 28% Salmond." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said the whole time that I think it'll be a No vote. Don't really understand how people can't seem to distinguish between wanting something to happen and thinking it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If the other polls reflect a similar trend then it won't just be a case of Salmond missing an open goal but going up to the other end of the park and scoring an own goal. We'll have to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we could get Bruce Forsythe to change sides? It's not a game changer that's needed. It's for YES to START playing. It has been way too quiet audibly and visually . Unless your tuned in, you wouldn't know it was going on at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really understand how people can't seem to distinguish between wanting something to happen and thinking it will. You have, to be fair. There are, however, a fairly substantial subset who seem to think the polls are lying to them and not reflecting reality. I suspect that's because most their friends etc lean one way and their perception becomes skewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
