Bucks often quotes polling data when it suits him.
Contrary to popular opinion among some, polling data isn’t that unreflective. It’s tough in tight races, but Trump and Brexit were all within the margin of possibility. It’s here when careful consideration must be made. When there are huge gaps it’s unlikely to be drastic, so any Tory hoping that the current -25 gap between Labour and Tory is false because “we can’t trust polls” or whatever else (I know party voting intention isn’t the focus of this thread) is only deluding themselves. Just as Corbynites were when Labour was suffering massively under his leadership, and it’s just as laughable and pitiable to see such desperate arguments from others.
I trust polls more than ‘gut feelings’ of the very ‘measured’ people.
