ayrmad Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Can't imagine they can sit on it. Cameron's visit up here with his scaremongering about losing 1 million jobs might have a wee dent in the polls mind, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the following ones drop a little. I'd assume the organisation that commissioned it can do as they please. I don't really think Cameron has a negative effect on the YES vote, we don't like Tories marching up here and spreading fear.

Casual Bystander Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'll rephrase, it would be worse if someone sat on the results than if they released them. If Panelbase are known to be collating their results then for some reason those results weren't made public then the worst case scenario would be the assumption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy for them to suppress them all 'til the last kick, always better to score in the last minute against a Goliath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Odds checker has odds on a Yes vote as low as 3/1 and still shortening. This is a massive slash in odds. The best odds I can currently find on odds checker is 4/1. Has it been as low as that at any other point?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So basically YES are no closer now than they were before the two debates? Clutching at straws? We are winning everywhere. If you had been told before the debates that after them yes would have made no gains.... Would you have taken it? I suspect not. I pity you too. So, would you have taken it? So would you have taken it? Tick tock, sugartits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 NCC types on twitter talking about the "highest ever" polling for yes. What, except for the several other 47-53 polls survation have released over the recent months? But it's all about momentum now. Who has the momentum going into the final 3 weeks? Two polls released in the last week (YouGov & Survation) and both show a rise of the Yes vote by 4%. If that kind of momentum continues then Yes is going to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have gained though.You don't have much faith in Salmond do you? He's clearly a better politician and debater than Darling, and these were his only chances to show it. I was expecting pretty big gains from yes during these debates.Thank goodness there has not only been no big gains, there hasn't been any gains at all!

Lex Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Salmond is no bad though. The press are vitriolic. More polls coming soon. Surely people watching debates can make up their own mind? Why have such low faith in the people of Scotland? I haven't bought a paper for years, and I never will again. Their circulation is a tiny fraction of what it once was, I think you're overstating their influence. Yep, there's one on the 18th, that's less than three weeks away now. Soon indeed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The Survation poll must be really disappointing for Yes. They need something big to happen in the others, as only being where they were in June is desperately bad news after the success of the debate on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You don't believe that halving the BT lead within just a week or so is good news? OK fair enough. The BT lead from when? Survation had Yes at this level in June. That's like being 10 metres behind in a race with 300 to go, dropping back 20 metres with 200 to go, then reducing it to 10 with 100 to go and saying "Wow, look at the momentummmmm" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time either side needs something big to happen is on the 18th. I'm disregarding all polls because generally there is a 'flavour' for one side or the other. The bookies odds narrowing quite considerably gives me more confidence than any shortening of the polls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
