Populus back to “normal” following Friday’s shock LAB 11pc lead
When I questioned Populus boss, Rick Nye, about his Friday poll he said we’d need to wait until Monday see if it was an outlier or not.
Well today’s poll is just out and we’ve got our answer. The numbers are very much back in line with all the other Populus online polls since the series was started last month.
As Nate Silver has observed the test of an honest pollster is whether they get the occasional outlier which should occur, on average, with one in every 20 surveys.
