If the media is to be believed, something approaching blind panic should be setting in among AV supporters following yesterday’s Guardian/ICM poll which gave the NO camp a 16-point lead.
According to the paper, the YES contingent is reeling as its support collapses with the result “sending shockwaves” through the ranks of those advocating reform of the voting system.
Meanwhile, Labour is reported to be spitting blood over former Labour minister John Read’s involvement in the NO campaign whilst Vince Cable is said to be even more out on a limb for sharing a platform with Ed Miliband.
The problem with this rag-tag scenario however is that privately commissioned polls on both sides actually show the gap between voting intentions to be a lot closer. In one instance, the figures are said to closely resemble a recent opinion poll on party leadership performances. Hmmm.
