Eu opinion polls are unreliable, given the different polls we hear every so often. Those variations could be evidence of changing views over time but it amounts to the same thing.
One day, we hear more people want to leave, the next day we hear more want to stay. The results could ofcourse be influenced by those conducting the polls, though we must trust them for
fair play, right?
It is impossible to fully tell what is going on here. A you gov poll released today found that 45 percent want to leave, with 41 percent wanting to stay, whilst a separate observer poll found those wanting to leave ahead by 43 percent to 40 percent. Though close, it shows how unreliable these polls are.
I’ll make that gap higher because most people I know favour leaving than staying, though the country is not mae up of just the people I know. There have been polls that have suggested higher percentages for those in favour of staying, though it is doubtful this will be the eventual outcome. opinion polls also depends on the demography being sampled by the poll.
Crucial
The next two weeks will be crucial, with both groups of campaigners raising their game to pull in votes. The scaremongering by the remain campaign will go up too, with more rhetoric of economic doom if we leave.
Already, we are hearing that the pound is weakening amid fears if a brexit, and promises to weaken even further if we leave. Very little is being said from those economic experts about the probability of bouncing back if the pound does in fact weakens and what path the process of recovery will take.
The eye of media.com have put up our own ongoing polling survey on this site, though response has not been great yet. I have requested for a number of us on
the team here to actually go to various parts of Britain together for a couple of days, and physically conduct our own survey in addition to the one on the site.
We all in this country want what is best for us, but have different views of what that is. It seems clear to most people that our disgracefully weak boarders marked by the Eu rights to freedom of movement, and the slippery net through which terrorists slide, is not what we want. Especially with our judges forced to bow to unelected Eu judges. Opinion polls that suggest more people in favour of staying than leaving are unreliable.t
