Some slightly... mad... figures there. Scotland only makes up about 8% of the GB population! It's because us pesky Scots are all riled up and more likely to say we'll vote. It was a sneer at the expense of LOL-MORI and not the good people of Jockland. |

Even so the figures are highly improbable (just like MORI's recent Scotland-only poll) Suspect its a combined nats figure.... Surely? |

That wouldn't explain it as Plaid barely register on national polls; Wales is around 5% (a bit less? Can't remember) of the GB population and Plaid generally poll only around a tenth of the vote in GE's.

Rogue polls happen to all the pollsters, it's not their fault that newspapers choose to blow them out of all proportion. Ipsos-Mori have a relatively good record in Scottish Parliament elections.

Unless they're picking up a large number of voters south of the Border. SNP gain in Corby  and Liverpool Scotland even though it no longer exists...  |

Unfortunately the pollsters (and IM were among the earliest to do it) have developed a nasty habit of spinning their own polls, usually out of all proportion to their individual significance, and consciously downplaying issues like the margin of error. |

Liverpool Scotland used to be a bastion of the Protestant Party?

Hardly. It was an Irish Nationalist seat for decades. Still the SNP (or at least 'Yes') seem to have won over the Fenian vote so you never know

Labour are actually 32-30 ahead on the "all voters" question, as opposed to 30-30 last month.

Is 9% a record high for the Greens? I can't remember any pollster putting us that high before.

The Greens once registered 13% in an Audience Selection poll during the afterglow of the June 1989 European Parliament elections, and also reached double figures on more than one occasion in the three months that followed. I believe the 13% rating is the highest ever. |

Lab 34%, Con 33%, UKIP 11%, LD 8%, Grn 8% Taking in PC, SNP, and the various factions of the Northern Ireland Pork Barrel Coalition, that would suggest to me that the minor parties and independents will be squeezed remorselessly. |

Here's the supposed 'corker' - rather an anti-climax, save in respect of UKIP who are back in single figures. Commissioned by the Evening Standard but looks like it's a national, not London-only, poll.
Labour 36% (+2)
Conservatives 34% (+1)
UKIP 9% (-2)
Green 7 (-1)
Liberal Democrat 6 (-2)
