Casual Bystander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Daily politics have tweeted the same results. Dunlomin (name?) posted a link the PDF. The figures are right; 38/39/23 (y/n/u) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Are you sure those figures are correct ? The link given a couple of pages back has now been taken down. Yeah, read through all the data sets. It's a real enough poll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I just had a trawl through Twitter and lot of tweets in the last 10 mins along the lines of "if no one else is respecting the midnight curfew then either am I" then posting 41/41/18, so a tie when DK's are excluded.

Casual Bystander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Which pollster? If it's the TNS on then it's 38/39 with DK, 50/50 without them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaven Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 A lot of postal votes, from the Isles, are apparently 50/50 if you believe what people are saying. That has got to be very bad news for NO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That has got to be very bad news for NO. Depends which Isles. We've got to be looking at winning the Western Isles. If Orkney and Shetland are anywhere near 50/50, now that would be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Bystander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That has got to be very bad news for NO. Considering it's.. 1) a fairly conservative (with a small 'c' of course) area 2) a traditional Liberal heartland ..then yes, it doesn't make for great reading for no. It's all anecdotal mind. Traditionally the cities are the place that support Labour, and thus by implication the union in this case, so we'll need to see where that's going to end up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Is the poll coming out at midnight the one which people are talking about as 39/38? Or is it an entirely different one? Ta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Is the poll coming out at midnight the one which people are talking about as 39/38? Or is it an entirely different one? Ta. I assumed it was a different one as they were being so coy about it on Newsnight. They did stress it could not be released until the embargo was lifted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadénator Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Butcher Cumberland still holds sway up there I reckon. Too soon? Highland Independence Now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tweets I read, and I don't normally use twitter so I don't know how reliable the sources are, were all talking about the TNS one being 41/41/18 and that was meant to be under wraps until midnight. Most on here are quoting 39/38/23 so it's probably pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Western. Given postal votes are used more by OAPs than younger voters that's probably better for Yes than No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadénator Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Do they count postal votes before polling day? Surely the chance of preliminary results leaking out is a bit undesirable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1t3h Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Do they count postal votes before polling day? Surely the chance of preliminary results leaking out is a bit undesirable? I was just about to ask the same question. I thought that the postal votes would be/are counted at the same time as the rest of the votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadénator Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Apparently they are counted before polling day: http://www.jamesbarlow.co.uk/opening-postal-votes "So, postal votes are opened and counted at regular sessions before polling day, and political agents are entitled to attend these sessions just as they are entitled to attend the count of non-postal ballot papers." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Daft Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) The TNS poll is interesting. Y-N-U Men: 41-36-23 Women: 35-41-24 Overall: 38-39-23 16-24: 44-34-22 25-34: 38-31-31 35-44: 47-31-22 45-54: 39-35-26 55-64: 39-39-22 65+: 25-57-18 16-34: 41-33-27 35-54: 43-33-24 55+: 31-49-20 Yes trouncing No with everyone bar 55+ Women and 65+ were the dominant subjects. Housewives and pensioners fucking our shit up. Edited September 9, 2014 by Hearts Daft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
