Boards May Be Partially Right

    Shock horror. :eek:

    Todays Times has a Constituency Poll for CNC
    The survey was conducted last Thursday and Friday in 500 in-home interviews with voters given sample ballot papers. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.5 per cent.

    The ongoing boards poll shows FF is underreported ( by 2/3) and that SF is over reported ....surprise. However Boards appears to be correct on overall Labour support despite its unscientific nature.

    It's probably largely down to Noel O'Flynn being asked to stand down despite the lack of a popular alternative Fianna Fail candidate as well as the working class vote already being well soaked up by Katherine Lynch (Lab), Jonathan O'Brien (SF) and even the socialist candidate.

    It's not way off the mark, but like boards.ie it probably isn't a genuine reflection of the likely national trend.

    The boards.ie poll has a sample of over twelve thousand, the irishtimes poll got a response from 350 people, and they concur with each other re: CNC. Why do you suspect that neither is an accurate reflection of the national trend????
