I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you that the pet issue of a few rad fems, a dozen obsessive journalists, and a thousand Twitter bots isn't popular.

The methodology used means the conclusion isn't as clear cut as that. They seem to have asked people which policy they most strongly agree with and most strongly disagree with. Almost everyone in the country could have slightly agreed with it but if enough people strongly disagreed then it would still be most unpopular. Indeed, the report makes a very similar point. It says that many people agree with the government's approach to these "culture war" issues but do not consider them important and so they should not be prioritised - this is something you see in focus groups and it's something I've noticed myself in my own conversations with people. |

This is an appalling example of how to conduct an opinion poll. It's straight from the 'Yes, Prime Minister' episode of asking leading questions and giving only simple agree/disagree options for nuanced issues. Surely the BPC should admonish their member for allowing such a poll to be conducted.

My answers to those are No No No No Yes Yes No, which are probably the opposite to what Sir Humphrey was intending. |

For my part answers would be a firm assertive positive Agree to every question. |

The BPC has abdicatedall responsabilities when it allowed a Cabinet minister to own a political polling company without forcing an extremely clear disclaimer on every one of their polls. |

Do you both seriously contend that being owned by the family of a previous PM makes it obviously corrupt and that all results will be biased, distorted cheats? Are you both that silly and tribal as to discount everything it produces for that one reason? |

If you could use a single word to describe David it would be 'tribal' and if you could use a single word to describe Max it would be 'silly', so yes - respectively - they are that |

The Daily Farage (otherwise known as the Daily Express) consider that this means that the Tories will win the Geeral Election.

This pollster has altered their methodology to take more account of "don't knows", thus bringing them in line with the likes of Opinium and More In Common.
(the latter have a new poll out themselves btw)

This poll was done over a week ago, but the "if Nigel Farage returns" question is newly published.
