Labour support collapsing, I wonder how Mandy can spin his way out this. The MSM will love this, they won't have to take sides after all - but we have to remember - there is only one poll that counts

How can a percentage of 35% suddenly become 24%. I did inferential statistics at college and it seems to me that weighting could not possibly make this much difference. I wonder if they simply reported the figures wrongly the first time round and then realised their mistake? I agree with Bob.15:53 |

Begs the question why ITV/ComRes rushed out a raw poll in the first place. It seems much of the media had already made up its mind to crown Clegg king of the show.
