    It seems strange that Obama's intervention hasn't helped Remain then, given that he is the least distrusted among DKs and SVs. Perhaps a good omen for the future though, when they stand in the polling booth and reflect on what they've heard.

    In 1975 we had the great and the good lined up on one side and the "nutters" (Benn, Shore, Powell etc.) on the other. The choice was obvious, except it turned out that the "nutters" were correct and the great and the good were lying through their teeth.

    Blair took us into a war based on a completely false prospectus. Lots of people believed him because they could not even contemplate the idea that a British PM would mislead Parliament on such an important issue. He did though. Then he did it again in 2006, when he committed an inadequate number of inadequately equipped troops to do a job that was never properly stated.

    Frankly, anyone who believes a word any politician says is a bloody fool.

    Elsewhere Cameron has barely 1 in 10 Labour voters (2015) trusting what he has to say on Europe. He is hurting the image of REMAIN and split the Conservatives. One of the most politically inept decisions. If only he had followed the example of Harold Wilson.

    Good evening.

    Seems to me it's Mr Cameron's dismissive comment about Leavers (some time ago now) coming back to bite him. It was something like "Fruitcakes, loonies & nutters", wasn't it? And, to my amazement, that's how he's now coming over himself.

    Is that what's called Karma?

    So the one who commands the highest trust within any group is a Remainer - Barack Obama. As his expressed reasons for remaining are identical to Cameron's, one can only conclude that the latter's poor showing is the result of PM-in-Office pangs, nothing more significant. It also demonstrates that Obama's stardust still has significant potency. And there were those claiming that his intervention was misjudged.

    Police Scotland has cancelled a £12 million procurement exercise for a computer system to manage its control rooms in another IT setback for the force.

    Procurement of a new system for the C3 division, which includes handling of emergency calls, has been put on hold despite it being described as “mission critical”.

    Well, maybe not up to that point and, sure, many won't bother, but Obama's relatively good standing among the DKs is perhaps the biggest surprise in the poll and has got to be a good indicator for Remain.

    I'd have thought the most useful deductions are for Leave. Given their appalling ratings with Remain voters, don't knows and swing voters, Nigel Farage and Michael Gove need to be kidnapped until 24 June.

    Remain need to get some moderate Labour voices heard. Pushing Alan Johnson forward today looks like a good idea.

    'Now the U.S. has been inundated with PC inquisitors, and PC poison is spreading worldwide in the Anglo zone.

    For these reasons it’s good news that Donald Trump is doing so well in the American political primaries. He is vulgar, abusive, nasty, rude, boorish and outrageous. He is also saying what he thinks and, more important, teaching Americans how to think for themselves again.'

    In large part it's influenced by how much people agree with him in general.

    But he's really pulled of a special trick by turning vast swathes of his own voters against him without getting any from the other side to balance against it.

    Agreed. Obama's secondment is starting to look like a Remain master-stroke. Leave, of course, have massive advantages with the euro-phobic British press barons singing their tune, but the Pres's intervention cuts through all that with a cool sense of resonance and objectivity.

    Yes, I was struck with just how appalling the three wise men of Gove, IDS and Farage are doing amongst their own side. Cameron is PM and would expect to be hated; IDS and Farage aren't even in government. Leave still have Boris of course. But his problem is as follows: will he repel the give-Cameron-a-kicking Leftists? Leave might seem less attractive to them if all it amounts to is giving Boris the chance to make hay.

    Desperate spinning from Remainders. Obama's rating is nothing more than the fact he is not a British politician. Familiarity breeds contempt and the UK electorate have a healthy amount of contempt for all their elected representatives.

    Obama's intervention achieved nothing for Remain except to make them look just that little bit more desperate.

    Having waded through about 2000 comments in the Times over the last two days, it's hard to find any nice ones about Cameron. Lots of contempt over War!!! And war graves, not appearing to be on our side, dishonest and more of the same.

    Michael Gove has truly dreadful figures, he is political poison. Much has been suggested that he would be made Chancellor should Leave win. I think John McDonnell would welcome such a situation should it come to pass!

    It looks to me as if Boris has suffered from the reinstatement of political gravity as well. From the outside Leave appear to me to be all the unpopular politicians plus a clown as front man!

    That's an interesting finding for Boris Johnson with swing voters.

    I am not surprised that Dave is so unpopular with confirmed Leavers, though am so with BoJo being the polar opposite for Remainers.

    Deutschland uber Americas!
    Trump is a derivation of Trumpf, though British and Irish ancestry combined are more than German ancestry
    The map is by area, so reflects rural populations in the thinly populated states. Also hard to know which country most african americans are descended from!
    Indeed, but whites still have a plurality, a substantial number of Hispanics come from Mexico, african american ancestry more diverse

    Golly, Cameron's figures are awful with swing voters.

    I must confess to being extremely surprised by this.
    Having waded through about 2000 comments in the Times over the last two days, it's hard to find any nice ones about Cameron. Lots of contempt over War!!! And war graves, not appearing to be on our side, dishonest and more of the same.

    It's hard to believe that in February he was supposedly driving for a tough bargain and he'd walk away.
    Very hard. Because it wasn't so.

    Which is why the renegotiation was rubbish. The other 27 never believed he'd walk way hence the dog's dinner of minor tweaks we got presented with. Now I still expect a Remain win but there's a clear whiff that things have not gone to plan for No 10 hence Obama, the Japanese PM, assorted ex US State Dept inhabitants, and the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse ( yesterday's was war) being invoked to scare us all into line as I think they thought this would be in the bag by now and it's still not - quite.

    Not many are interested but the Democratic primary race hasn't yet finished de jure.

    Tonight, in about 2 hours, polls close in W.Virginia, where the early Exit Poll leaks suggest to me that Sanders has beaten Hillary with close to a 2-1 margin.

    The only interesting issue is that 39% of Sanders voters in W.Virginia say that they will vote Trump in the GE over Hillary in the Exit Poll.

    Her nickname will have to be updated to 'Crippled Hillary' by the time she crawls across the finish line

    Cameron can't be trusted. A characteristically vulgar PR stunt from him. Her Majesty has to be on her guard when she's obliged to receive the creep.

    Theresa May has managed to do that as well, and there is no excuse for her from Remainers that she is the PM.

    If it's true, I'm seriously unimpressed. The Queen should never be used like this - ever.

    That spin doctor on Sky thinks it's so very clever, I doubt many would agree.

    In WV hardly surprising, Trump will win it by a landslide

    Only if she manages to lose all remaining contests and by a 70-30 margin will she lose the nomination.
    Right now she is still on course to win California (though that maybe tightening) and N.J., but her unpopularity is showing.

    There is no question that if Sanders was 10-20 years younger and from a bigger state than Vermont that Hillary would have lost the nomination.

    Ho, ho! If Cameron engineered that then Leave should be terrified - the man's clearly omnipotent.

    There's another BBC video from today at the Queen's garden party of a private conversation the Queen is having. Bad form to release it.

    @journodave The topic of it, luckily untouched by the press today, puts her in a complicated position in terms of neutrality.

    There's some even more interesting polling numbers from WV that show a third of Democrat voters will vote Trump no matter who the Democrat nominee is.
