Given that half a dozen reputable polling companies have failed to produce such a poll in public at any time in the last 24 months, the claim is bizarre.

Nor is he ever likely to admit to having a poll stating such a thing whether it exists or not.
Bizarre it may be Chris but the fact stands there is a poll which, as correctly identified by an indiviudual via a letter to the press, Mr Cameron has refused, and continues to refuse, to publish. The content of the poll, whatever it might be, could be easily established should Mr Cameron elect to publish same.
He won't.
Essentially someone privy to certain information, using a pseudonym for clearly obvious reasons, wrote to the paper alleging that there was a poll that the Cabinet Office were suppressing and, by bizarre coincidence, that happened to be exactly the case.
What are the chances?
Interestingly (and I'm happy to be corrected) I'm not aware of any Government or Cabinet source coming out and categorically denying the allegation that the poll shows a rise in the support for the Yes vote or putting the Yes vote in the lead.
Have you ever considered the possibility that the half a dozen reputable polling companies in whom you place so much stock might just be providing us with the results others want us to see?
Just a thought.
