politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Worrying GE2015 and Euro numbers for the Tories in latest Survation/Mail on Sunday poll

On the Euro polling the big difference between Survation and ComRes was on the timing of the fieldwork. All of the Survation work took place after the Clegg/Farage BBC TV debate.

    She should resign, this post has nothing to do with the fact I backed her at 14/1 as next out the cabinet.

    I don't know the full details, but the overall impression just stinks.

    If Cameron is serious about detoxifying, he needs to make a stand.

    Fair to conclude the budget bounce has somewhat faded?

    Which is a good thing, we don't want polls with the Tories ahead, 'cause that might cause Labour to dump Ed before the general election.
  • MarkSeniorMarkSenior Posts: 4,699
    I presume the main cause of the difference between the Comres and Survation Euro VI figures is the 10/10 Comres filter . In the sample as a whole Comres had 34 Labour and Con and UKIP 24 each . A filter not quite as harsh as 10/10 would have made the 2 polls pretty close .

    Too late. The party that went with Gordon Brown is hardly likely to dump Ed with 13 months to go.

    Much as I love to see the authoritarians in the Conservative Party on the ropes, it is depressing that Clegg's pure charlatanry in the debate has in no way damaged the LibDems. Indeed (within the margin of error) they are in a stronger position than last week.

    They appear to have withdrawn their market.

    You can back her at 33/1 as next Tory Leader though.

    The LDs are down to rock bottom. Clegg's task was to significantly improve the situation.

    Perhaps Ladbrokes will open a market on whom this Minister is

    Maria Miller must go over expenses claims, says senior minister

    Minister says Culture Secretary Maria Miller's behaviour is 'incompatible with being in Cabinet and undermines PM'

    Never underestimate the capacity of the Tory party to make itself unelectable...
  • TheScreamingEaglesTheScreamingEagles Posts: 122,885
    To put a positive spin on it, following the debate, the Lib Dems saw a 28.57% increase in their share of their vote for the Europe (2% / 7%)*100

    So Clegg's strategy so far has been brilliant and excellent.

    Hmmmm

    The poll for the pro-independence political website Wings Over Scotland finds that when the 14% of voters who are undecided are excluded, 47% intend to vote yes and 53% no. It is the nationalists’ best rating so far this year.

    The lead was 24% last year

    You are forgetting the Panelbase poll that had Yes in the lead last year ( August ) Neither is it the nationalist's best rating this year , The previous Panelbase poll had Yes 40 No 45 DK 15 eliminating DK's that is as near as damn it identical .

    * uncertain as no Green figure given.

    Does anyone actually believe Labour are going to more than double their vote?
  • Chris_AChris_A Posts: 1,237
    On Betfair the boat race market the winning time book for 17-17:59, 18:18-59 and 19 minutes+ is currently 83%. With tomorrow's tide and weather forecast there is absolutely no way that it is going to be under 17 minutes so fill your boots. 17-17:59 is 5/6 favourite but that seems way too short to me and I've tempted just to plump for the 18-18:59 option at a very tasty 7/2.

    Poll Alert - YouGov poll on the Euros for the Sunday Times

    The latest YouGov/Sunday Times voting figures for the European parliament are certainly startling. Among all voters, UKIP has climbed from 23%, and third place, a week ago, to 28%, and a strong second place, this weekend.

    When we count only those who say they are certain to vote, UKIP gains another six point to 34%, seven points ahead of Labour and fully 14 points ahead of the Conservatives.

    Farage is caning it, as he seems to when given a platform.
    There is a decent chunk of support that wanders between blue and purple depending on recent events, but UKIP's base is a lot higher than it used to be.
    The Tories should be very, very worried and we can expect to see confusion over whether to pretend to be UKIP, ignore UKIP, or insult UKIP.
    We will probably get a contradictory mix of all three.

    OT Katainen resigning as Finnish PM. This could be Merkel's cunning and devious plan to stop the EU Parliament getting too big for its boots: The EPP appointed Juncker as candidate for Commission president, but he really wants a different job, so the EPP wins but Juncker declines, and Katainen gets the job instead. The Parliament wanted to force the member states to pick the winning candidate by refusing to ratify anyone else, but they can't really do that if the winning candidate is refusing to take the job...

    A truly shocking poll for the Tories - with the Maria Miller impact yet to impact.
    This is surely proof if proof were needed of the value offered by those generous folk at Ladbrokes in offering 10/1 over the past 2 or 3 days against Labour winning 351 - 375 GE seats, equivalent to a majority of between 50 - 98, which they've since trimmed back to 8/1. Possibly the best value bet of the year so far.

    For those who missed out, an alternative is to back the Tories to win between 226 - 250 seats at 6/1, especially if you consider the LibDems are likely to win more than the consensus view of 35 seats.
    As ever DYOR.

    I took that 10/1 as soon as Shadsy opened the market.

    I still think it is value at 8/1

    I'll see if I'll have time. It's been a while since I been on a train in India, mostly fly domestic or go by car in recent years. Real reason I'm going is my brother's wedding.

    For some reason I thought the Euro election was first week of May - obviously mistaken,
