MORI: Only half of LAB supporters are satisfied with Ed

November 24th, 2011



Ipsos-MORI.com

How long before they’re in the minority?

Above are two MORI charts from the latest survey covering leadership ratings.

As can be seen there has not be much movement overall but within the data from those saying they are Labour voters we see a trend continuing. Satisfaction with Ed Miiband is on the decline while dissatisfaction continues to increase.

On a more general level on the last thread I was asked why there is a such a large discrepancy between the YouGov and Mori leadership ratings figures. This was my response:-

Simple – they ask a different question.

MORI is very personal – Are YOU satisfied/dissatisfied.,,

YouGov ask people to make an assessment of whether the leaders are doing a good/bad job.

The academics who study this area reckon that the personal approach is a much better format for testing the political weather.

      Carina Trimingham seems a bit dim. Why would she want to work for a parliamentary lobbying firm if she thought they might not recognise her name and know without being told who and what she was – or are there hordes of other Carina Triminghams for whom she is always being mistaken? Or – strategy B – why not say “contacts in all main parties” – probably true to the extent that she has at least been introduced to at least one conservative and one labour mp, and if not true – if you can’t lie in a job application to a firm of lobbyists, when the hell can you lie?

      Why don’t you kids just get a room? OR reserve a snug at Dirty Dicks!

      For the Boy Named Su(nil), check out Seattle Times website for details re: distruption of AMTRAK service near Everett WA north of Seattle on mainline (BSNF) up to Vancouver BC. Northbound tracks blocked by a ‘giant blob” of mud from a small landslide. Which is pretty common, both in Pac NW during late fall/winter/early spring heavy rains (such as from feared “pineapple express”) and along this railroad line, which in many spots (for example, in north Seattle a few miles due west of my humble abode) where the line runs right along Puget Sound & adjacent salt water at the bottom of high, steep cliffs & bluffs. AMTRAK has fleet of buses available to take passengers around blockages.

      When not obstructed by acts of God & other difficulties, the trip north from Seattle to Vancouver BC, and south to Portland OR (with stop at that city’s suburb, Vancouver WA) are both interesting rail journeys. Most of the journey is at sealevel or not much higher, but there are so good views of the not-so-distant Cascade Mountains to the east, Olympic Mountains to the west, and the volcanic sentinels of Mt Baker (on Canadian border), Mt Rainier (the Fuji of Puget Sound) and Mt Hood (the Materhorn of the Columbia); don’t think you can see the other two Northwest volcanic summits, Mt Adams and Mt St Helens

      Quite an interesting article on a proposed Financial Transactions Tax on LabourList:

      http://labourlist.org/2011/11/the-financial-transactions-tax-%E2%80%93-one-big-mess/

      Whilst it’s nice that they sometimes have good articles I do miss the batshit crazy days of Draper. Mind you, a day or two ago I saw someone bashing Boris for being anti-women because something like 52% of bus passengers are women :D

      What’s more, the decrepit arrogant fuckwits of euro-enthusiasm and Federasty in the UK, like Ashdown and Heseltine and Mandelson, are STILL refusing to apologise for evangelising the euro. Indeed they are STILL claiming it’s a great idea (with a “couple of flaws”).

      Why haven’t these traitors been hung in chains from London Bridge, and left to drown with the incoming tide?

      I note, nonetheless, that virtually no one under 50 still supports the euro (apart from Clegg and Red Miliband), so perhaps Single Currency Enthusiasm can now be classed as a kind of Alzheimers or Parkinsons, the Dementia of the Lefty and the Aged.

      And so it will disappear over time, with better knowledge and sanitation, like smallpox.

      Max Keiser slagging off Cammo on RT (Freeview 85)

      His side-kick Stacey Herbert told a bit of a porky, telling us that a UK party can win an election on “like 23%” of the vote!

      Thanks for the report. Was wondering just the other day where you’d got off to!

      305, Mr. T, the way things are going the eurozone may end up going down in flames :(

      [I am absolutely not a euro-fan, but a disorderly, ill-tempered, costly, lengthy and nationalism-fuelling destruction of the single currency would be bad news in just about every way].

      Oborne was over the top and obnoxious on Newsnight some weeks ago, but he was quite right to knock Lambert (ex-head of the CBI) over his europhilia, and the europhile had no response, and no grace to apologise or acknowledge he was wrong.

      The current decision making process by EU leaders resembles that of the Western Roman Empire after Valentinian.

      Hello folks,

      Just popped in because I came across an article in The Grauniad about Merkel’s refusal to let the European Central Bank act like a central bank. The article says (in part)

      The Franco-German allies, who represent the traditional engine of EU integration, plan to set out their proposals before an EU summit on 9 December.

      Their plans, which could be endorsed at an unscheduled eurozone summit the day before, heap renewed pressure on David Cameron as he struggles to keep the UK as far away from eurozone contagion as possible while still demanding a say in shaping the area’s future.

      So, the Eurozone people think that they can announce a policy that is tremendously unpopular with the money markets and is accelerating the capital flight that is now in progress and have until December 9th to do somethin about it? Do they really think that their actions will not precipitate some sort of crisis in the next 15 days?

      I know there are gamblers on this website, but it seems that you might all be total amateurs compared to Merkel who looks like she is betting the future of a continent on a shaky policy and timetable.

      We are supposed to get the politicians we deserve. Do the Germans truly deserve such an abysmal government?

      Night all… rant over

      Bev.

      Delighted to see you posting again, if I may say so. I’ve really missed your informative and insightful posts.

      Thanks for this one.

      Hm. UKIP on 2%. Just goes to show that the nutters (like the poor) are with us always.

      Has anyone yet remarked, that a party leader called Chris Huhne with a mistress named Carina Trimingham, sound like a pair of characters from a (21st century) Trollope novel?

      MrsB – totalling by-election votes without comparing with the previous ones in the same wards is subsampling with a capital S. I’ve no idea whether the ward where by-elections were held were typical, but if the ALDC wants a representative sample over the last year they’re probably best off taking the extrapolations from the May elections which covered most of England and Wales. IIRC they did show the LibDems doing better than in the polls, but not a whole lot better.
