The polls are narrowing

[Yappy12]

Only 7 point lead for Boris in latest poll. Still all to play for.
Boris on Marr tomorrow morning.

Experts say a 6-7 point lead with Labour in the 30's gives a hung parliament.

Am getting worried.

It's terrifying.

I cannot imagine the doom and gloom a that will hit us if corbyn gets in.

It's a possibility if the polls keep on narrowing that he could cobble together a coalition even if Boris has more seats. The sitting PM has first stab but if he can't for a working coalition over 326 and Corbyn can then it's OM Corbyn.

They’re both awful though. It’s not like it’s all going to be just fine if the Tories get back in.

Polls change all the time. I wouldn't hold any stock in them until the exit polls on December 12th to be honest.

What I'd like to know is where they get these figures from?

I'm in my mid 50s and have always voted, yet have never, ever, ever, been asked who I'm going to vote for in any kind of opinion poll. I thought about this in the last election and started asking people - relatives colleagues, friends, and I've still not unearthed anyone who has been asked.
Which makes me wonder a) how small the samples are and b) how reflective of the whole population the samples are, or maybe how random the samples are.

Labour on 32 and Tories 38. More polls I believe later tonight for the Sunday papers. Seems Labour's scare about the NHS may be working!

That's one poll. Most polls are still showing a decent margin between Conservative and Labour that would probably translate to a Conservative majority. Labour do seem to be gaining a bit though.

Personally I'm hoping for a hung parliament and Con/Lab/LD to all go away, pick a new party leader and come back some constructive ideas about reaching across the aisle and moving the country forward. But I fear we're a long way off that yet.

I know. In 2017 the exit poll at 10pm was virtually spot on. Think they got the exact seat numbers for T and L.

YouGov have asked me! Not as much as they did last election when I lived in a marginal seat, though.

Where is Boris? Running scared. The Tories have run the nastiest campaign I have ever seen in my lifetime. They deserve to crash and burn. The lying twats.

Labour are doing all they can to unseat Boris but I can't see him losing his seat. They're drafting dozens of activists in from neighbouring constituencies to knock on every door and say he's a liar and untrustworthy.

Can't see him losing his seat. The PM factor will get him votes,

Boris live on Marr tomorrow. The Beeb said he couldn't appear unless he agreed to do the Neil interview but have relented.

I thought Boris wasnt allowed to do Marr until he did Neil

BBC backed down on that HelenaDove.

I’m so hoping for a hung Parliament. There none of them can do the stupid stuff they’ve put in their manifestos and Brexit drags on for so long that we all just stop trying to get it done.

I think the policies of both labour and the tories will effectively wreck the country so we are screwed either way.

The BBC relented in relation to Boris?

Surely not

@Backforgood

We've never been asked either and don't know anyone who has.

So? Polls are not fact and have been wrong before, the only result that matters is the one on election day.

Course the BBC backed down. It’s a disgrace.

The BBC relented in light of the stabbings.

The polls were wrong last time. It’s not the time for anyone to be complacent. Neither side are great. But JC is by far the worst option.

Bookies still extremely confident there won't be a Labour majority-offering odds of 28-1! They wouldn't offer those odds if they weren't very sure indeed that a Labour majority is not going to happen. Contrast this with odds of 5-11 on a Tory majority.

Let''s count how many times he says "Get Brexit Done"

There won't be a Labour majority but Boris may not get a majority either. All depends how much tactical voting there is and turnout amongst the young who tend to vote L or LD
