Thought that this would only fit in a new thread...
on the commute home from work tonight I heard about 5 minutes on Andrew Pierce's show on LBC. He was talking (enthusiastically of course) about a poll which purportedly showed "Con 42% and Lab 36%". In the bit I heard he didn't mention the polling company but referred to it as a "new poll".
Any ideas???

This presents a great opportunity to once again mention the mythological 'asterisk' poll from circa 1989.

not sure this is a poll. I tweeted them about it and it appears to be based on EU ref voting intentions, the EU ref voting divide in each party, etc. |

I suppose the idea is that those are the (highly questionable) figures that would have occurred had a European election taken place in 2018.

I have asked this account previously to explain their methodology (on a quite different set of figures) and had no response. I get the impression that 'via my own methodology' roughly translates as either 'plucked out of the air' or 'made up as I went along'

Agree with most of the above comments, however its the ONLY "poll" Ive seen on EU elections so I thought I'd put it out there  |

Number10leaks on Twitter says:
No indication of the source of the numbers, so industrial quantities of NaCl required.

But if the Tories are down on 28, and the Brexit Party is even as high as half of that, then they could be in trouble in heartland seats. |

Hasn't that account been discredited as actually being a "number 10 insider" anyway?
