If it was going to be anyone, it had to be Graeme

It would seem to me that Polls.uk would be the most authoritative source for Polls in the UK.

looks a very useful site and some great local polling info. My wife and I were only talking about this recently i.e. where are the polls that show brexit party polling in key marginals, and labour leave areas? Looks like this site provides the info that other polling companies have failed to provide.

May I suggest you actually read the Sky News article? The information on Graeme's website is incorrect and misleading.

There is a good page on Wikipedia with a list of all legitimate Opinion Polls undertaken in the run up to the election, including constituency ones which might be of interest to you.

well I'm very pleased to have been made aware of this site. Nice, clear and concise information - certainly helps to see local polling information displayed this way - much better than most of the other polling sites which focus purely on national polling trends.

Seems polls are only 'dubious' if they give the 'wrong' answer.

Shame these 'experts' got it wrong with brexit and trump.

Disagree. Known Graeme a long time and 100% trustworthy. You may not like his niches but the statement about trust is not factual.

I didn't mention the site shouldn't be trusted because of the niches he operates in. However, the fact you bring up about the niches likely being the reason I say that, shows you know exactly why people wouldn't want to trust the site/him.

EDIT: I won't drag this side of the conversation out further, as the thread isn't about discussing his moral compass.

Agreed that a public forum isn't the place to post about someone ike that

Do you trust the mainstream polls? is the pertinent question asked on polls.uk today.

Nigel · Nov 29, 2019

Time will tell how accurate the polls are - I think we need to get this in context - polling is not yet a regulated area, thank goodness. The mainstream polls are often biased - and inaccurate and don't give useful local information.

I can't see what all the fuss is about. The samples I looked at on polls.uk quoted the source...
