All fieldwork was AFTER Rennardgate story came out

We’ll probably have to wait till tomorrow before getting the poll detail.
The figures are almost exactly the same as the Times Populus poll published on Friday night. It’s understood that Populus carry out Lord Ashcroft’s surveys.
It would appear that the weekend of terrible coverage for the Lib Dems hasn’t had any impact on voters in the Hampshire constituency.
Update – The LDs move to new low in ComRes phone poll
LDs hit new low in ComRes phone poll for Indy. See paper’s front page. twitter.com/suttonnick/sta…
