They don't add up. If these figures are correct, the previous poll would add up to 102% ?
Steve . . .WTF! How can the Tories be down 3?! Doesn't make sense!
Cheers Nich, sorted
TT,
Margin of error and all that. I'm not worried, general trend is a slow widening of the gap.
I am getting fed up with YouGov - there is always a narrowing of the poll at the most opportune moments for labour - it happened during the conference when every question to a Tory was prefaced with "hung party" territory and set the agenda. Even when YouGov show a 10pt lead I still don't trust them because you just know it will drop the next day.
I wonder what they will show tomorrow with the Tory manifesto launch 3 - 4%?
No surprises there then... especially as the boss of Yougov, Peter Kellner, is married to the democratically elected EU High Representative... Baroness Ashton of Fugly.
YouGov was shown to actually alter the figures it publishes to better represent what they believe teh eventual election result will be. Of course, being Labour supporters they think Gordon should do better then he is, so they have been changing the numbers around to better match that belief!
Its a pity they aren't managing the war in Afghanistan. With that sort of style they could have had us out of there declaring total victory, with only a mere 100,000 killed.
Its also interesting that none of teh other major polls agree with YouGov's numbers either.
