politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » New Opinium poll has Remain still ahead but under their old methodology Leave would be ahead
Like the ORB and ICM phone polls, there appears to have been a marked shift towards Leave before the methodology change, what will also delight Leave is this, Opinium say ‘In our last poll, 47% leaned towards Remaining while 32% leaned the other way. In this latest poll, undecideds are nearly evenly split with 36% leaning towards staying in the EU and 33% towards Leave.’

Yeah like the rules that prohibit sales of seeds that have been around hundreds of years unless you psy an expensive euro registration fee which makes it uneconomic for heritage varieties of vegetsbles becsuse agri busuness use F1 hybrids, wrecking seed diversity meaning risk of disease is higher and making it impossible tp get true breeding plants in some casesTOPPING said:

No it is not 90% of uk businesses trade only within the UK. Liberating them from all the single market ce nonsense will reduce costs.

The last Opinium survey would probably have shown Remain ahead by 7-8% ahead on this methodology. Online pollsters are constantly adjusting their methodology in ways that favour Remain, but the race is still tightening.0

Tricky one this - the methodology change sounds sensible. The increased DK swing to Leave is my biggest takeaway. In line with supplementaries of other polls which suggest Project Fear has not worked/is not working.
Yet Al Campbell thinks the single-track economy argument will swing it for Remain. Not what we're seeing in the polls....0 -

What on earth is good for Remain? The last Opinium was 44-40 in Favour of Remain. This suggests a 2.5 - 3% swing to Leave. (With most fieldwork before the interviews)Mortimer said:Second? Something for all in this poll, it would seem.

The more I hear people talking about how they're voting and when I think of turnout/demographics I am very hopeful. British independence is within our grasp.

Polls aren't really predictive until the last week (and as we all know, not much even then).0 -
So the pollster opens the door & offers you the results based on the new model, do you stick or switch?0

Project Fear clearly regarded as a joke now,Remain need a complete change of strategy..
They need to project an optimistic upbeat image of the EU.
Maybe they can get Junker to come to the UK and do some campaigning for them.0 -

So which 'CE nonsense' will we abolish on day one? Oh, none of it... And in fact we'll probably never abolish any of it at all as there isn't any reason to.
Really? Quite a lot of it is unhelpful in particular to say the small PC manufacturer because building a PC out of CE tested parts is not enough you have to get the whole thing tested.
Bit of a pain if your making a 1 or 10 off given the costs of the tests, as a result less machines are made this way.
There isn't actually a good reason for it so it could go.

With every passing poll it's looking bleaker and bleaker for Remain. Remain's only hope - and there might be something in this - it that the companies are disproportionally sampling the daytime-telly brigade - i.e. the massed ranks of the elderly and the unemployable. With luck, there are a lot of Monday Warriors who've slipped beneath the radar. Otherwise Remain, and by extension the United Kingdom, is royally up the creek.0

If there is any economic news it will be spun as either 'We're doing well - don't throw it away' or 'The world economy is in danger, don't upset the applecart it would be too risky to leave' - depending on whether it is good or bad.
There is also the big debate at Wembley, which we hope will be fair, that could be Boris and he isn't the best debater in town - so possible cock-up for Leave there.
The problem for Remain is that they have the Cameron-Farage interviews next. If the interviewer is honest Farage will murder Cameron, if they aren't then it will be noticed as another 'establishment conspiracy'. You can't treat two candidates so differently in such a short period of time and hope the viewers don't spot it.
I suppose Remain could fly Hillary Clinton over to make an impassioned speech (if she isn't banged up), or Bernie Sanders (After all Donald Trump is coming over) - but I suspect not many of the hoi polloi know who Bernie is (isn't he the one who fries chicken?)
Otherwise, I am struggling. Maybe Frau Merkel, Hollande et al could come over and make a VOW to the British people.
What I am, sadly, expecting is that the left-wing groups HnH and UAF will start using their muscle - it is happening in America and would be basically a final admission of defeat. After all a Conservative MEP said that he would have taken Farage out if there hadn't been cameras around.

I can't help but think that this is the high water mark for Leave after the immigration figures and Remain should have a stronger negative campaign for the last two weeks with any number of experts telling of the disaster Brexit would bring.
They wasted time using them when no one was listening. Now they are and we've still Saatchis research to look forward to.
Or there may now be a bandwagon for Leave.
He said the polls weren't factoring in Northern Ireland and Expats, combined with Gibraltar he thought that would be worth 2% to Remain, then about a 2-3% swing to Remain on voting day as people back the status quo.0 -

It'll be interesting to see how Cameron goes these next few weeks. It is clear an excruciatingly narrow victory does him no favours at all and leaves his party in chaos, so he may as well go a bit demob happy and start enjoying himself. I would in his position.

Remain : 856 - 821 : Leave to
Remain : 785 - 897 : Leave - or 39 - 45 Leave (46.7 - 53.3 excluding DKs)
Even now - the headline figure for Remain is 42.6 : 40.9 - which is better for Leave than shown.0 -

I expect that in the home straight Remain will ramp up the economic risks focus and if this referendum does follow past experiences there will be a swing back to the status quo in the latter stages. I would have thought that Leave we need to be showing an across the board lead of about 5% at this stage to be feeling confident.

However my experience is that remainers are very unenthusiastic. That will hit remain on the day as well.0 -
I can only assume Remain is doing so well on the betting markets because people are factoring in a late swing to the 'status quo'. But this nudge question - and yes, it's just one poll - implies that the Remain campaign is repelling undecided voters. With that in mind, and the polls so close, it surprises me the betting isn't closer too.0

If there is any economic news it will be spun as either 'We're doing well - don't throw it away' or 'The world economy is in danger, don't upset the applecart it would be too risky to leave' - depending on whether it is good or bad.
There is also the big debate at Wembley, which we hope will be fair, that could be Boris and he isn't the best debater in town - so possible cock-up for Leave there.
The problem for Remain is that they have the Cameron-Farage interviews next. If the interviewer is honest Farage will murder Cameron, if they aren't then it will be noticed as another 'establishment conspiracy'. You can't treat two candidates so differently in such a short period of time and hope the viewers don't spot it.
I suppose Remain could fly Hillary Clinton over to make an impassioned speech (if she isn't banged up), or Bernie Sanders (After all Donald Trump is coming over) - but I suspect not many of the hoi polloi know who Bernie is (isn't he the one who fries chicken?)
Otherwise, I am struggling. Maybe Frau Merkel, Hollande et al could come over and make a VOW to the British people.
What I am, sadly, expecting is that the left-wing groups HnH and UAF will start using their muscle - it is happening in America and would be basically a final admission of defeat. After all a Conservative MEP said that he would have taken Farage out if there hadn't been cameras around.
FWIW - I know why Remain have lost - BSIE T-shirts (probably most attractive to the younger voter), cost £20.00 - the Vote Leave ones cost £5.00.
I am rather hoping that the Purdah period will shift the Remain campaign from being a Tory/Cameron campaign to a more broadbased one.
I think Remain will win, but the betting value is still on Leave.0 -
