Scot Goes Popcast Episode 41: A pro-independence majority for the FOURTH Norstat poll in a row
from Scot Goes Popcast · host James Kelly
Some audio commentary on the new full-scale Scottish poll from Norstat, which shows a substantial pro-independence majority (Yes 53%, No 47%) and a commanding SNP lead in Scottish Parliament voting intentions. I consider the significance of there now seemingly being three polling companies, rather than the previous two, which are consistently showing Yes ahead, and in particular the significance of the fact that this is happening even though Norstat haven't yet abandoned the questionable practice of weighting by 2014 recalled vote (as far as I know). I also question what the Sunday Times, who commissioned the poll, are playing at with the downright odd way they've presented the results - most notably their burying of the self-evidently newsworthy independence result.
