Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Bloody hell! Ok, on a serious note, that is a bloody huge result but the cynic in me thinks they would release a rigged huge poll in favour only to release another YG poll showing the usual figures and claim the Yes campaign is falling off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 http://scotgoespop.blogspot.co.uk/ Monday, September 1, 2014 More poll drama tonight as YouGov look set to report yet another record high for Yes The referendum polling drought will be abruptly broken at 10pm tonight, when new numbers from YouGov (the pollster notorious for adjusting their results with the No-friendly "Kellner Correction") are released. If a tweet from Nick Robinson and a comment in Brian Taylor's blog are anything to go by, they'll show a further narrowing of the gap - and that's absolutely massive news, because the last YouGov poll already showed a record high for Yes of 43% among the whole sample, and of 44% among definite voters. And it gets even better - our old friend Laurence Janta-Lipinski has been dropping broad hints on Twitter that the shift is significant, so there could well be an increase in the Yes vote of more than 1%. If so, we're getting into territory that would be consistent with a dead heat or a small Yes lead with the more Yes-friendly pollsters.Stay tuned... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm glad we're not over reacting on here. I think it's important that the yes campaigners don't see this as some sort of victory. I still don't believe the polls and wouldn't no matter which side they are showing for. However, we all have to admit that if YG are showing it within touching distance that is quite a jump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaikuHibee Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Paid 50p to tell yougov that I'd vote Labour in a Holyrood election, didn't vote in 2011 and plan to vote No. Pleasing.

Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Who is running the Mr Bairn, "how I tricked the polls", bingo? Because it's not like he won't shut the f**k up about it, as if his one opinion makes the difference in a vote covering millions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 This isn't some sort of competition, we're voting for this country' future.

Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If it is 47%, that will mean that in one month, YG has polled the Yes as 35% (07/08), 38% (15/08), 47% (01/09). That is one fucker of a curve no matter how you wish to spin those figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
