Lib Dems taking a seat from Regorm, I didn't hear about that, guess it was on the same day as the binface-farage clown festival in clacton.


Was this a by election because it was one of the seats Reform won in May and immediately decided they didn't really want the job and resigned?

There were 10 or 20 incidents of reform winning and immediately resigning as they were candidates on paper only and not actually candidates who wanted to improve things on the council.

Andy Burnham's latest net favourability rating of +13 (13-14 August 2026) is the highest recorded by our tracker for a prime minister since the surge in Boris Johnson's popularity in the initial weeks of the Coronavirus pandemic

I'm not a big fan of Andy but he is way more of a people person than that fraud farage.

That's the first time I've seen RFM at the top of the polls for many months.

Do you think the uplift is in response to their Monday press conference where they promised to increase immigration
by removing Labours increased barriers to businesses importing and employing foreign workers.


It was a surprise to me as I thought RFMers wanted to reduce immigration.

I think it's just drag on the policies for by election and statistical error over a series of polls.

3% error on each of these polls, and it's worrying if they start getting too close to
each other, as they should show varience within the limits, with some outside the margin too...

like it makes a broken twiglet of difference to anyone other than the media circus are going to be shoving this baby food down everyones throat intensively for weeks, months, years.

Just a question to ask folk during their survey.

Helps survey company more than us, but I found it interesting enough to record.

Thread is all a pinch of salt.

apologies, no offence intended, I'll just have to get used to the increased spoon feeding of hello magazine type baby food gloop to the masses as it fills all the top spots in the news and media.

Non taken, it's a question they know, or suspect, forms a link to other stuff, so a new way to test accuracy.

Maybe they'll follow up in a couple of months to
see if the bombardment sways opinion.

Huge discrepency between polsters for Lab and Rfm !?

One of them is way out to the point of being useless.

Different methods. Delta always have Greens and LibDems much lower than everyone else.

To me, it looks as though Reform have stopped the rot for now and have bottomed out around the 23/24 mark. Labour received a Burnham bounce and have also settled around that 23/24 mark. The tories are steady but appear stuck around 20%.

As I posted last week it's good to see outliers now and again, else I fear they are
overly fixed.

Labour/Green-lib dem seems the varience here and that can be sort of explained(perhaps) by the return to Labour of voters from those parties being more regional, or softer... so maybe different across different polling organisations.

Whereas the earlier return from refuk is more solid, but not increasing.

Plenty of time for them to iron that out...

Another poll showing Reform fading to around the 23% mark. Note Restore are prompted in this poll but they aren't in the Delta poll.

Prompting is a significant factor when comparing polls...

Burnham Bounce: 40% are favourable towards Andy Burnham (+8 from July).

Brits are more than twice as likely to be unfavourable towards Farage (54%) as favourable (26%).

19% favourable towards Green Party leader Zack Polanski – lower than Brits who say they are favourable towards the Green Party generally (25%).

(Fieldwork August 21-27)

Twice as many folks happy to vote in order to stop Reform than support them.

Moderate Tories, centre and the left will make sure that little c unt farage doesn't win
