Also today the guessers are making big things of a poll showing them as being exactly where they were before the two debates.  |
Just saw that Survation poll. So, essentially, Darling's win in the first debate shifted 3 points worth of voters towards No. Salmond's win this week shifted 3 points worth of voters towards Yes. Quite aside from the fact that a 3-point swing is within the margin of error, Salmond ought to be very worried that his last game changing opportunity has sailed off into the sunset without changing anything much at all.
Better Together can't afford to take its foot off the pedal, but it is very hard to see where the Yes camp is going to get the votes from in the next 3 weeks. Even hoovering up every singe undecided isn't going to do it. And in any case, recent polling data (trying to remember which one it was) suggested that, when squeezed, the DKs are likely to come down 2:1 in favour of No.
