The typo is this

It might do, but there's an inconsistency between the subsamples in the two polls. The Lib Dem 2010 splits in the two polls are,Pulpstar said:
The Lib Dems swinging to the Tories in THIS seat makes sense.OblitusSumMe said:
The weighted base is less than 600. Margin of error is bigger than difference between the two polls.Speedy said:
Not really, the numbers are very similar with the Ashcroft poll.chestnut said:Ashcroft sampled Stockton between 26/6 and 4/7. The new numbers are broadly consistent with the Lab-Con swingback since then.
And the tiny difference could be due to methodology.
Anyone care to calculate what the margin of error is on the 2010 Lib Dem subsample?
Ashcroft: Con 8%, Lab 48%, LibDem 33%, UKIP 10% [weighted base of 49]
Survation: Con 25%, Lab 35%, LibDem 31%, UKIP 3% [weighted base of 37]
Interesting difference that Survation name the candidates for the "big four" parties, whereas Ashcroft appeared not to. Incumbency effect?
Maybe, but with a margin of error of > 12% (for a 90% confidence interval) it's impossible to be sure. Need more data.0 -

Indigo labelled the state of affairs described in the Daily Mail quote as 'total idiocy'. I'm simply pointing out that the Daily Mail report is wholly misleading. A debate whether Nicky Morgan is responsible for something that hasn't happened seems somewhat pointless.RobD said:
Don't think anyone has been arguing about that, just about what Nicky Morgan's role in this was/is.Rexel56 said:
And total idiocy to say the school was graded 'good' and not 'outstanding' because it is 'too English'. The report simply doesn't say that and to use quotes is thoroughly misleading. The school was not rated outstanding on any single criteria but should be congratulated for bettering it's 'needs improvement' assessment rather than being dragged into this row.antifrank said:

I'd like to think that we all knew our Hydras from our Hydrangeas. Hard to see how even Doctor Who could make an episode out of that, but it would still be better than the disappointing Atlantis.Morris_Dancer said:Mr. Me, gnostic means 'knowing'. It's agnosis/agnostic which conveys uncertainty.

Hydragnostic sounds like knowledge of hydras, though. [Which linsk nicely to the Augean stables comment below].0 -
Having taught for many years I can assure you that facility with numbers does not necessarily correlate well with understanding the nuances of OFSTED. None of which affects the thrust of my remark that it is quite idiotic to pretend that a SOS should be held personally responsible for an individual inspection report.Indigo said:

Quite right. The report never said the school was 'too English'; that remark came from one of the parents, presumably in response to a loaded question from a reporter at The Daily Hate. Rabble-rousing journalism at its worst!Rexel56 said:

Miliband - we need a judge-led public inquiry into the number of monsters we face. And possibly a monster tax0 -

"Rural school is denied top grade by Ofsted inspectors because it's 'too English' and not diverse enough"
Total Idiocy.
Of course, that doesn't happen, because the modern British state has a complete double standard in how it treats white people and non-white people.
It's the fear that someone somewhere might think you are wacist.
It's the worst crime ever. Apparently.0 -

Hmm, I may need to see you in action on such matters before deciding if I need to rebel against your otherwise no doubt excellent rule - there are many things that some people regard as terrible crimes done to the English language which it could well be argued are simply ignoring arbitrary archaisms (or rather, not so archaic given when some of them were imposed).TheScreamingEagles said:

Leaving aside the clanger, "were" is supposedly grammatically correct with "data" since "data" is a plural word. So say the purists, though it seems as silly to me now as insisting on the plural with "news".TheScreamingEagles said:

Anyone else spotted it?
.... I'll get my coat.
The typo is this
Under data weighting it says
Data were (sic) weighted to the profile of all adults in Rochester & Strood constituency.
http://survation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Stockton-South-TTIP-Full-Tables.pdf
"Data were weighted" just looks wrong and against all laws of God and nature.
"Data and media are plural."
For a contrary view:

On the other hand, if 'awful things' includes absurd overuse of semi-colons, I may just have to emigrate.0 -

Obviously the Stockton poll could be an outlier - it's only one poll and individual constituency polls are always a bit difficult.
But if it is right it would surely be the best poll for Con since 2010 - a small swing from Lab to Con since the 2010 GE. Pretty extraordinary.0 -
