Was YouGov even better for EdM than first reported?

Are his supporters more likely to have voted?

Some key detail has come out this evening from the YouGov labour leadership poll which suggests that EdM’s position is even better than the top-line figures suggested.

The detailed data breaks responses down in both the party member and trade unionists sections according to whether respondents had already voted or not.

About 40% had already cast their ballots and of these in both sections Ed Miliband was doing far better than amongst the samples as a whole.

Based on this data it’s hard to argue with YouGov’s Anthony Well when he writes: “Ed Miliband is now in pole position.”
