The choice of questions for the weekly Sunday Times YouGov poll is a good indication of what’s been going on in the previous week and today a large part of the poll is devoted to beards – sparked off by Jeremy Paxman.
This is mid-August, after all, and the height of the silly season when not much is happening.
The figures that intrigued me most were in the above chart – the link between whether you’ve a beard or not and voting intention.
