Look at the satisfaction ratings of (a) Boris Johnson (b) the government and (c) Jeremy Corbyn. Calculate the number of people who must be dissatisfied with all three. Consider how fixed they are likely to be in any choice they might provisionally have made.
NB that percentage is something like 40% of the electorate.
Obviously there are vast numbers of voters who are displeased with both of the main party leaders (and even more who hate the Government as an entity, but that's not exactly unheard of.) However, just because someone doesn't much like either Johnson or Corbyn, it doesn't mean that they're desperately dithering between the two. This would only occur if the voter in question found both men precisely as repellent as one another and, given that they aren't identical twins, that will seldom be the case.
Some were thinking about not voting - but most did want to vote; it was a case of "who do I dislike least?"
As AlistairMeeks commented below that's a lot of the electorate and chances are they aren't going to make up their mind until presented with the paper.
I have to admit when I voted it was with a heavy heart wishing that the Lib Dems were an option (they weren't as a vote for them around here is no different from not voting or spoiling the ballot).
That’s not a good reason not to vote for them. My daughter is voting Lib Dem in Dundee West and I am voting Tory. Both completely pointless in terms of the result but that’s democracy.
No, not quite. Someone on here will be more familiar with the historic numbers but I’d say tighter than it has been, but still a good lead. Corbyn has just moved to “slightly more welcome than a hornet in the foreskin” while Boris remains polarising.
Corbyn's favourability is climbing fast, exactly as happened in 2017.
The difference here is that the climb happened later, and from a worse position, but as PB showed us a few threads ago, the trajectory is the same.
This poll is 6-9th. There's two-three more days of campaigning after those dates. More time for him to climb AND we know the NHS has been, and will be, all over the news from now to polling day.
I wish I didn't bring bad tidings, but I reckon Labour can quite easily get to a hung parliament from here, and from there on, God save us all, and may the best man win in the fight for the lifeboats.
A corbyn majority is impossible, a hung parliament is not a national disaster but an opportunity. How it would play out is anyone’s guess but it ain’t going to happen no matter how much I would like it to. Floor gate has been trumped by traitor friend gate
On thread - unless there was some further context, this is not a particularly uswful question since candidate I dislikethe least is just a grumpier way of saying candidate I like the most. Or am I missing something? I'm in full blown panic mode so may not be thinking clearly. For other Tory panickers, Ladbrokes has NOM at 4.0 + boost.
If you adore Jeremy Corbyn, you’ll vote for him. If you salute Boris Johnson Benny Hill-style every time you see him, you’ll vote for him.
If you think both are stinking piles of effluent, the choice is markedly harder and different considerations come into play.
That offends me!
You can't have a "pile" of effluent. It's liquid.
Could you also tell the met office that you don't get accumulations of rain?

It’s nothing to do with the Fixed Term Parliaments Act. The 25 working day minimum period is set by entirely separate legislation. It’s all in your head that this has been a long campaign. The very opposite is true!
A lot of the media hyperbole seems to leave people cold; in this 24 hour news and internet age everything, however, minor, is an outrage or scandal or crisis so that when something major does happen the breathless media gave nowhere to apart from repeating the same pictures and vox pops over and over again - have the general public tired of them?
The voting system must change! We should be able to vote for something that is close to our beliefs not trying to game the system to stop something we hate.
The old two party system provided stability when the parties were clustered coalitions that carried out internal compromises and then bid for power. Big binary issues like Brexit break that model and then to put the icing on the cake the Labour Party has been captured by extremist fanatics.
After this crisis of an election I'm going to get politically active as appalled centrists can't simply act like consumers who don't like the offerings. One problem is the fanatics are really dedicated.
Great post. I know I should get politically active rather than just accept perpetual political disappointment, and to make any difference it probably needs to be in Labour or the Tories. There are many Labour and Tory politicians I admire but they tend to retiring or getting kicked out! It is time for a centrist entryist takeover of one of the main parties, which one, I am ambivalent. If it works for kippers and momentum why cant it work for centrists?
Just join the lib dems and work from the ground up it can’t be done from within labour or Tory they think they control their patch and will never change except to the extremes. There is no better satisfaction than beating a lazy complacent Tory councillor try it it’s enjoyable.
I would certainly enjoy it a lot more. And it could make a difference at the local level or once in 15-20 years with a coalition. But I dont know if that is the most effective way to take on the extremists in the main parties. My right to moan and complain should be less unless I willing to put in the effort somehow.
So when are we expecting an end to the wibbling? (I mean of course this super Yougov which is going to make the act of voting superfluous).
YouGov won't be definitive this time, because of LGI
In terms of calming nerves, it will be valerian pastilles, not valium pills
Why do you believe this is such a big issue. I can remember far bigger events causing similar certainty in the week before a vote and in retrospect not having had any effect at all

You see only Scylla while a large part of the electorate is staring with horror at sailing into Charybdis.
No one has done a Brexit. Possibly it will be bad, maybe probably, but even the worst case scenarios (most unlikely) posit a 5-8% loss in possible growth (not shrinkage) and a modest recession.
By contrast, Corbynism has been tried. We did it in the 70s and became the sick man of Europe, in apparently terminal decline, and what Corbyn proposes is much stupider than the 70s, with added insanity, around terror, security, Russia, Iran, identity politics.
We could be a mixture of Venezuela and North London Poly. We will certainly end up with crippling debts and capital flight which will leave us poorer on a scale not seen outside wartime.
What's more, Corbyn is a Jew hater. You want to vote for the Jew hater who will ruin us, because you're upset by a democratic vote? Go ahead. Be it on your conscience. Be it ALL on your conscience.
You guv will show Tories at around 43% and Labour fast catching up, at around 36% Just enough to show that the Tories are still winning. Though not be get complacent and encourage a higher Tory turnout.
On topic. Silly header silly survey. There’s only 2 or 3 % of brex left, and they think Boris deal is BINO sell out so ain’t shifting.
MRP is jibberish. Flawed yougov internet sampling, 650 into 100k makes it flakiest of constituency polls. If you think anything or anyone was spot on in any past so gold standard, they only fluked it.
I think the reminders to all remania that it might prevent the now inevitable Brexit if it tactically votes enough is not the smartest move from Cummings and Boris. However that mistake they have been saved from by tonight’s press joyfully splashing top labour spokesman say we can’t win over their headlines, so remainers won’t even bother to vote.

I’m not voting for either.

Be that on your conscience.
It might be a lot closer after the LGI controversy, and I don't expect Corbyn has improved at all.
Time and again, people have assumed here that that there is some "gotcha" moment that will turn the campaign around, and there isn't.
I agree, but in those seats where the margins are tight, yesterday's train wreck might tip the balance.
I thought that about Ashworth's car crash earlier today, but as it is being framed on TV news as Shadow Minister thinks Labour can't win under Corbyn, it might have the opposite effect.
No, not quite. Someone on here will be more familiar with the historic numbers but I’d say tighter than it has been, but still a good lead. Corbyn has just moved to “slightly more welcome than a hornet in the foreskin” while Boris remains polarising.

Boris is not a safe bet. I get why some dislike Corbyn. I don't get why they think Boris is acceptable. It is not a binary choice. The man is a bully, acted unlawfully and is a proven liar.
I see Farage is trying to shore up the red wall....
Wonder why?
I think something's snapped for him since Annuziata-gate.
He sees irrelevance beckoning, for the first time in 20 years. Can't be nice.
He must also be getting a great deal of anger from previously allied Tories, and donors, not least Arron Banks, for continuing to stand his stupid party in any seats at all.
That is an encouraging trend from a Labour POV. These are a different data series from the leader satisfaction data in Mori's political monitor that historically are a good predictor of the election outcome. But they seem to correlate (the better figures in the latest political monitor were foreshadowed by an improvement in the higher frequency campaign tracker numbers). The 7 point difference in positive favorability compares to a 12 point difference in the political monitor series and would point to a hung parliament other things being equal (although since you are no longer using strictly comparable data with respect to the historical data this is all rather speculative).
No, not quite. Someone on here will be more familiar with the historic numbers but I’d say tighter than it has been, but still a good lead. Corbyn has just moved to “slightly more welcome than a hornet in the foreskin” while Boris remains polarising.

In some respects Johnson is worse.
At least Corbyn has believed in his dangerous nonsense for a lifetime. Johnson by contrast claims an epiphany over the UK's role in Europe at the very moment it looked like doing so would bolster his career.
Why did the communists win dad? Well son, legend has it a man put a phone in his pocket
There not Communists son, it was just another lie put out by that idiot who refused to look at the photo of a suffering 4 yr old and then people realised his lack of empathy made him unfit to be PM.

The only reason you're able to spout this drivel is because you think Corbyn cannot win. If you thought he could win, I imagine his "dangerous nonsense" would become a lot more menacing than Boris' personality flaws.
The paradox, of course, is that if enough people think and act like you, then Corbyn WILL win, or will at least become PM in some form - and then the dangerous nonsense becomes reality.

I agree that too much emphasis is put on the MRP given its very short track record, but the "650 into 100k" comment makes me think you don't know how it works
The NHS burns it’s way through over £120bn a year, not all of it on doctors pensions. How much do you think it is worth given it’s statutory duty to give away all it’s output for free? If you think Boris is capable of selling that you must believe he’s a lot more to incredible than I do.
Corbyn is not a communist just a very left wing anti semite of limited intelligence who isn’t going to win Johnson is equally as damaging to our democracy and economy for different reasons It is not a binary choice, if you think that then you need to start campaigning for a proper voting system. Whilst not actually having to accept what those who have actually been out on the door steps are telling us they are the basis of democracy and people should remember on Thursday night Friday morning that your delight is someone else’s agony and respect for those having the guts to take part should be universal.

MRP is not a constituency poll. It is an attempt to assess the voting intention of each socioeconomic group, then apply those figures to each constituency, then apply turnout assumptions, predict who will win each seat, and thus predict the election. Classical sampling statistics aren't used in this - it's all regression - so concepts like margin of error do not strictly apply, although they will use some technique to assess the variance of their estimate.

Johnson's massive personality flaws impact on his ability to do the job of Prime Minister. Mrs Ratcliffe lays testament to that notion. Either by conspiracy or cock-up Johnson has the opportunity to inflict as much damage on our economy (no deal anyone?) and way of life as does Corbyn.
The polling booths open in just 36 hours' time - it's surprising how few polls we have seen yesterday and today.
I’ve been asked to contribute to one on Thursday morning. I understand it’s a 40m sample set. May help with the results, though it does include some data that was posted in weeks ago so may be off.
Does anyone know what the Tory emoji actually is? I don’t speak “yoof”.
😅 Grinning Face With Sweat Has the same grin and eyes as 😄 Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes but with a single, blue bead of sweat, usually over its left eye. Intended to depict nerves or discomfort but commonly used to express a close call, as if saying Whew! and wiping sweat from the forehead.
Grinning Face With Sweat was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name “Smiling Face With Open Mouth and Cold Sweat” and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

OK, I normally lurk, but time to delurk for the election. Like many I have been very conflicted, I am a remainer, I dislike both Corbyn and Johnson, and considered LibDems, but they failed to make any breakthrough. So , again, like many, I have had to vote for the least bad, Johnson. Rejoining is always a possibility, but the damage from Labour headed by Corbyn could take longer than my life expectancy. On the NHS, my personal experience is generally very good. My wife once rushed me in to A and E with severe abdominal pains, I was taken straight to the front of the queue, and was on Morphine within 10 mins, a week in hospital and was treated well. A follow up visit ended up with another unplanned week in hospital, again they looked after me well. One comment was that the mens surgical ward was partly occupied by dementia patients who had been admitted because the homes they were in could not cope, the consultants who came round promptly threw them out back to the nursing homes. Final experience comment, they should really control the use of mobile phones on the wards, people were talking all night and disturbing every one else.
Does anyone know what the Tory emoji actually is? I don’t speak “yoof”.
I interpreted this as relieved.
Maybe. Is the Labour one happier than last time or is it just “no change”?
Guess we’ll find out.
😑 Expressionless Face A yellow face with flat, closed eyes and mouth. May convey a sense of frustration or annoyance more intense than suggested by 😐 Neutral Face, as if taking a moment to collect itself.

It's very thin, only 9 pages long and only 2 Articles.
The article of Obstuction of Congress is an unusual thing, since Impeachment is a political act and obstructing an institution that it's popularity is frequently less than 20% for decades will not move votes in favour of Impeachment and Removal.

By contrast, Corbynism has been tried. We did it in the 70s and became the sick man of Europe, in apparently terminal decline, and what Corbyn proposes is much stupider than the 70s, with added insanity, around terror, security, Russia, Iran, identity politics.
We could be a mixture of Venezuela and North London Poly. We will certainly end up with crippling debts and capital flight which will leave us poorer on a scale not seen outside wartime.
What's more, Corbyn is a Jew hater. You want to vote for the Jew hater who will ruin us, because you're upset by a democratic vote? Go ahead. Be it on your conscience. Be it ALL on your conscience.
Just enough to show that the Tories are still winning. Though not be get complacent and encourage a higher Tory turnout.

But Dad you called them Communists didnt people believe you Dad?

The paradox, of course, is that if enough people think and act like you, then Corbyn WILL win, or will at least become PM in some form - and then the dangerous nonsense becomes reality.

I didn't realise that was 2017 until after I'd had a heart attack!
Johnson is equally as damaging to our democracy and economy for different reasons
It is not a binary choice, if you think that then you need to start campaigning for a proper voting system.
Whilst not actually having to accept what those who have actually been out on the door steps are telling us they are the basis of democracy and people should remember on Thursday night Friday morning that your delight is someone else’s agony and respect for those having the guts to take part should be universal.

Guess we’ll find out.
Apart from the initial insult, good post!
I just completed one for them - no doubt too late for the MPR so no one can accuse me of skewing the results!
"Noo I'm not...."
Has the same grin and eyes as 😄 Grinning Face With Smiling Eyes but with a single, blue bead of sweat, usually over its left eye. Intended to depict nerves or discomfort but commonly used to express a close call, as if saying Whew! and wiping sweat from the forehead.
Grinning Face With Sweat was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 under the name “Smiling Face With Open Mouth and Cold Sweat” and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

Like many I have been very conflicted, I am a remainer, I dislike both Corbyn and Johnson, and considered LibDems, but they failed to make any breakthrough.
So , again, like many, I have had to vote for the least bad, Johnson.
Rejoining is always a possibility, but the damage from Labour headed by Corbyn could take longer than my life expectancy.
On the NHS, my personal experience is generally very good. My wife once rushed me in to A and E with severe abdominal pains, I was taken straight to the front of the queue, and was on Morphine within 10 mins, a week in hospital and was treated well.
A follow up visit ended up with another unplanned week in hospital, again they looked after me well.
One comment was that the mens surgical ward was partly occupied by dementia patients who had been admitted because the homes they were in could not cope, the consultants who came round promptly threw them out back to the nursing homes.
Final experience comment, they should really control the use of mobile phones on the wards, people were talking all night and disturbing every one else.
A yellow face with flat, closed eyes and mouth. May convey a sense of frustration or annoyance more intense than suggested by 😐 Neutral Face, as if taking a moment to collect itself.

It's very thin, only 9 pages long and only 2 Articles.
The article of Obstuction of Congress is an unusual thing, since Impeachment is a political act and obstructing an institution that it's popularity is frequently less than 20% for decades will not move votes in favour of Impeachment and Removal.
