thanks for reply, pretty much agree re Sturgeon who has spoken well in general and admitting faults is not something Johnstone and co find easy
I pretty much fall into those four criteria (maybe not the 25% Sad) - but still would not be confident of answering those questions accurately
think the bias factor plays a big part in these surveys regardless of who you ask personally but obv I have no figures to back that up Happy

Delta has dropped 3% from 70 to 67.Erm, you are meant to add/subtract the approval and disapproval ratings. Eg, the highest in the table is +45 (26-27th March) and the most recent is +20 (27th April-1st May).


Even if you use the net figure, what's the biggest drop within any specific pollster? As you know, comparing percentages on different polls is less than useless. The only value of polls is assessing the movements within the same polls.

The net figure IS the approval rating.

I tend to just look at trends. If you stick with only one poster, they could be spot on of course, but equally they could be the worst by miles.

Trends within the same pollster yes.

No, trends with all pollsters.

Comparing the up from one pollster from the down on another is ridiculous, which you already know.

I agree, that's why I look at general trends.

If you think the general trend is 20% down, it's a total misread. Patently a deliberate one.

Churchill had an excellent approval rating in 1945, .... Amazing the way opinion swung up to next election.

Best take as much data as you can get and probe as much of the small print that they give you.

Even piers Morgan has lost faith in the clown.

Not deliberate at all, I just look at general trends. It's to be expected that during a national crisis, leaders ratings tend to soar, as they have done virtually everywhere. Over time that wears off and returns to some sort of normality and that is basically what is happening at the moment. Another fair example would be the next general election polling which had the Conservatives up to 26% ahead less than a month ago. Now it's around 17%.

what's the point taking any notice of polls 4 years out from an election ? polls showing 55% are laughable anyway. don't think anyone's even got 45% in the last 40 years

I was just using the example to highlight general trends. As you say, most of polling at the moment with regards to general elections is useless.

I heard trust in Labour Even after the Removal of the Abbot and Steptoe DUO is still less than 20 %

Previous damage done will take years to repair  ..

likely to be the least worst option again in 4 years time. a 14 year old tory govt on the back of the worst recession of all time with maybe record unemployment against a still hopelessly split labour party with Britain's dullest man as the leader

I don't think the huge lead that the tories have at the moment is likely to disappear in coronavirus times but the two main reasons that folks never supported Labour at the last election (poor leader/brexit position) will be all but eliminated come the next election.

doesn't involve me ,so ewasy to say and obviously doris want public to buy in[,theyve bought in to much as it happens ] but think 80% was to high for furlough,could have been lower for longer and a bit more scrutiny on those applying,with no work,transport,leisure costs and holiday payments for credit card,mortgagfe,sky,etc,etc ,think he could have got away with lower and maybe some companies might have kept more on before turning to furlough
saw some loons in daily mail [yers had to be ],yesterday that hadn't lost any cuts to salary but were thinking of taking advantage of all the payment holidays on offer and investing what they saved somewhere,if they were a real couple should be put up against a wall and shot

Anyone who trusts in the UK Government needs certifying! imho of course.

The fact if it is a fact that 58% trust the Government is extremely troubling! They have shown themselves to be incompetent, clueless and hiding behind not The Science but Scientist's. They do not know what they are doing and don't seem to have much of a clue how to get us out of lock down further to that they should be reporting back to Parliament for scrutiny not releasing their plan via a press conference.

Their level of Dumfukkerry is staggering. Thank God this virus is not the bad one some of us have been fearing for sometime.

We are going thru a societal reset.  The new society will not be to the benefit of the poor or the middle class.  The cv has been used to make those classes on government.   Fancy phases like the new normal and contact tracing have been conjured up.  All they mean is less basic rights and freedoms for the 99% and more mass surveillance.  A society drifting towards the chinese model.   There is a lull in the war at the moment but we now know their playbook.  Come autumn or winter there will ramp up the fear/control levels by claiming there is a 'second wave' or 'new strain'.  Just my thoughts observations.            ^^^^those classes more dependent
