We’re the attacks more about politics?

After a week of stinging criticism there’s some good news for the corporation in the News International funded YouGov daily poll for the Sunday Times.

Those sampled split by 2-1 well/badly when asked how the BBC’S performance had been.. It was 57% saying well to 29% saying badly.

Interestingly the pollster found that Tory voters much more critical of the BBC with 57% saying well to 35% badly.

With LAB voters the split was 61%-23% with LDs 72%-16%.

Quite why there is this disparity is hard to say. You’d have thought that it would have been broadly the same across the parties.

I was away on holiday and saw nothing of it so can’t have an opinion but, like with elections, I do think that the beeb can have problems with big events.
