+ + + SNP power ahead in poll + + +

From The Herald:

There has been a 20-point swing on Westminster standings from Labour to the SNP. Far from facing mid-term blues, SNP ministers are stretching their lead at Holyrood. And the party's leader, Iain Gray, has plumbed disapproval levels not reached by his predecessor Wendy Alexander.


Westminster:

Labour 32% (-5)
SNP 30% (+3)
Tory 21%
Lib Dem 13%
Other 5%

Constituency Vote:
SNP 37% (+4)
Labour 30% (-2)
Tory 15% (-2)
Lib Dem 13% (-3)
Other 5% (+3)

Regional Vote:
SNP 37% (+7)
Labour 28% (-4)
Tory 15%
Lib Dem 13%
Other 7%


Sample size was 1,020 people. Not insignificant by any stretch of the imagination!

Any sign of Euro election voting intentions? Be interesting to see if it's closer to Holyrood or Westminster intentions.

James said...

It does seem lazy not to put the rest of the numbers in the article. And frustrating. *drums keyboard*

James said...

Ah, apparently it's an SNP poll, and the customer is always right!

The detail, with that caveat, is here:

Also, whoever proof-read the numbers section of that press release Could Do Better.

Colin said...

Yeah, and after the month Labour have had, it'd be pretty shocking if the SNP weren't ahead. Still, can't complain.

Conan the Librarian™ said...

James, should that not be "whoever proof-reads?"
Perhaps not; English is such a pain in the arse.

Wv is fanitics.

Wonderful.

James said...

Past tense, Conan, I believe is appropriate for a singular historic instance.

Anyway, what is good in life?

Sean McGivern said...

Anyone got any idea as to the result of the two council by-elections tonight?

Jeff said...

Full figures are up now.

I reckon Euro election voting will be closer to Westminster but we're in unchartered territory so, as you say, a poll would be nice.

I think a YouGov poll with 1020 respondents is pretty reliable James. ANyway, I can't imagine the SNP have enough cash to conduct 5 polls and pick the best one. (wouldn't rule it out mind you!)

Don't know about the by-elections I'm afraid.

dont think they are in yet form alst night or you would find a press release on either parties website, if not the bbc

James said...

They're on the Scotsman site, and in the comments.
http://news.scotsman.com/politics/Labour-experiences-gains-and-losses.5203275.jpAlso, there's mumping and moaning about the Scotsman not running the YouGov poll the SNP commissioned and gave to the Herald as an exclusive. Pretty funny.

james
when they gave it to the herald the probably didnt expect a hatchet job doubting the inegrity of yougov

James said...

Sorry for confusion: I was just explaining why the Scotsman didn't run the poll.
