"Impressive" figures from Davey there. I wonder if Mark Pack has better figures?

Seems that most people agree with what they are doing, I simply don't get it, but then I don't get the public either
Labour aren't saying anything very different from the government, though, so why vote for them?

Polls so soon after a GE are redundant even in normal times.
At a time of national crisis, when we are effectively in a wartime scenario, are facile beyond belief! 99% of the public arent in the least concerned with party politics right now. I'm not sure if any polling was carried out in 1940/41/42 etc, but Im sure the Govt would have been resoundingly supported, yet we all know what happened in the 1945 GE.
Pointless!

Labour was ahead in voting intentions throughout most of the war, IIRC.

Opinion polls were in their infancy but such evidence as there is from 1943 onward, combined with by-election results, supports that.

I don't think there were any polls after the early months of the war and they resumed in '43. They were disguised by the fact that Churchill's personal opinion poll ratings were never below the high seventies and were in the eighties when the war had ended.
And the plan of course was that no-one was actually 'asked' to vote Conservative.

I'm sure thats the line some want you to believe, but its patently untrue.

The fly-by-night website your lot put all over its crappy literature to argue it was going to win 100s of seats at the last election.

We may of course find we agree about the quality of the literature sent out by the Liberal Democrat national operation. If such things are to be judged by results (or "outcomes" as they say nowadays") we seem to have a case.

Continuing to show changes for the General Election is ridiculous. Will they still be doing it in four years time?

Without necessarily agreeing with it there is a logical case for showing the change since the last election. Knowing that a party's support has dropped by 3 points since the last election is arguably more important than knowing that it has gone up 3 points in the last month.

Change of seats aren't dependent on the change from the last poll

I posted last year that I used Head-Office supplied artwork for our freepost, dropping in our local candidate's details, only to have it rejected by the Royal Mail for a centrally-produced photo of a sign saying Bollocks To Brexshit.
