I voted Yes in 2014, would vote Yes again tomorrow and have voted SNP or SNP/Green at every election since 2010. I'm not going to lose sleep over a single poll that shows the SNP taking 55 seats at Westminster. Why should I? The same poll shows a narrow majority for Indy as well. I would make two points here: 1) no single poll with a +/- 3 point typical error ever shows anything. I am genuinely uncertain if ACH knows this and is trolling badly or if his blood pressure genuinely rises and falls with sampling variation. You typically need at least the next two polls to confirm a trend. I have been consistent in my commentary on not looking for truth in a single poll. 2) There are house effects at work in all pollsters. Survation has tended towards being less friendly in terms of results to the SNP than say, ComRes. Indeed they probably underestimated SNP support in 2019. Yet all the polls to date show a consistent trend of crushing SNP wins in 2020 and majority support for independence. I don't yet see any sustained signs of slippage. In truth this poll is possibly a bigger concern for Dougie Ross than for anyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said my piece on polling plenty of times, I was just curious for those that seem to pay a lot of attention to them on this forum what they thought about this one, appreciate your analysis. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Anyone worried? In all fairness I don't think anyone has ever been worried about one of ACH's tweets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Heard yesterday that the election will be entirely postal votes. No idea if that's true, but I don't think it'd be a huge surprise if the current circumstances remain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he realised it was a poll for Westminster (whilst I assume he was referring to 2016 polls for Holyrood) It is also a different electorate 16 and 17 year olds eligible. Were EU nationals able to vote in 2016 and not 2021? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were intersted in the reaction to the poll, why did you post ACH's lies and misrepresentations about it? Surely the poll figures speak for themselves? Last 4 Survation polls for Westminster show the SNP on 51% 52% 51% and 48%, so the result is within the standard margin of error. Obviously, however, under the FPTP system, this would be a great result for the SNP - Electoral Calculus predicts the pictured result on these figures 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any SNP supporter be worried about a 55-4 win in Scotland in a Westminster election? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
