The write-ups in the papers of his performance have been pretty bad and last night there was a longish feature on Newsnight by Michael Crick about EdM’s position. Yet in spite of all this Labour continues to poll well and the latest PAPA…

How much are you winning on the Lib Dem surge?

How much are you winning on the Lib Dem surge?

Is now the time to do some serious spread betting? There’s a sub-set of data in the PB/Angus Reid general election polling series that looks at what is happening in the 62 seats which the Lib Dems won at the 2005 general election. Inevitably given that this represents only about one in ten of all GB seats the sub-sample is small. But the numbers coming from surveys since the debate show that Clegg’s party is doing enormously well in the…

What happens if there is no GREEN/UKIP/BNP standing?

What happens if there is no GREEN/UKIP/BNP standing?

How would the vote split? Lots of talk today about how many candidates the “others” – GREEN/UKIP/BNP – will actually have standing in the election. UKIP looks as though it will have in excess of 500 but the other two parties are probably going to fall short by quite a distance. With this segment running quite high in a number of polls the question is how would this go if potential voters have not got someone to support in their…
