Comment on General Election 2010 Poll Results by David.

Floating Voters and Don’t Know Votes.

Over the last 7 days there have been 80 Don’t Know : Floating Voter votes cast. That’s 25% of the total Don’t Know : Floating Voter votes (329) for the entire period of the poll: This poll went live in September last year, but that option was live from the last week in November (about 3 months or 12 weeks ago).

That’s a BIG increase in floating voters.

None of the Above has had 50 votes this week, which is quite a big increase as well (that option was added mid October).

In comparison

Labour votes 315 (21.69%)
Conservative votes 410 (28.24%)
Lib Dems votes 174 (11.98%)
UKIP votes 88 (6.06%)
Green votes 95 (6.54%)
Plaid Cymru Party votes 148 (10.19%)
Others votes 92 (6.34%)
NONE OF THE ABOVE votes 50 (3.44%)
Don’t Know : Floating votes 80 (5.51%)

1,452 votes this week.

Plaid Cymru Party 148 votes, last time I checked it was around 50. Obviously they can’t get 10% of the vote :-) Have we got a big Wales following right now?

Would make for an interesting parliament if those numbers come through in the general election.

I’ll try to do something like this every weekend if I remember.
