No thread for this organisation (they may not presently be BPC members) but they have produced at least two polls for the Sun in recent days.
Showing the Tories leading Labour by 44-36 and 44-38 respectively.

They're a voodoo polling firm, of course, but they've built up a huge panel a la YouGov so I think they've decided to use it to go into the "proper" polling business. But I'm sure their panel suffers from the same faults as YouGov's, mainly that there are categories of people, especially the offline (obviously) but also those who are disengaged from politics/current affairs etc, who are seriously underrepresented.

I don't think voodoo is the right word , TBH . Their methodology is not described anywhere so we do not know what weighting adjustments they make if any . My impression is they rely on the large number of respondents to counter act sampling errors .

I mean that their core business is voodoo polling - the stuff that people put online for market research or just for fun. By contrast I'm sure the methodology for their GE polls uses standard sampling techniques. |

Voodoo outfit and non-BPC member they may be, but they got it pretty close.
