Adelaide’s Advertiser newspaper today carries a slightly curious poll of voting intention in Boothby, held for the Liberals by Andrew Southcott on a margin of 5.4 per cent. Conducted by phone from a sample of 649, it shows Southcott leading Labor candidate Nicole Cornes by an improbable 49 per cent to 32 per cent after distribution of the undecided. No two-party result is provided, but commenter Matthew Sykes has transcribed the paper’s large volume of generally unilluminating data from the poll throughout the previous comments thread. No doubt the Advertiser’s pollsters do their best, but my mind is drawn back to the final week of the state election campaign last March, when it ran a poll showing the Liberals neck-and-neck in Norwood and set to retain Hartley. Labor went on to win the seats with respective margins of 4.2 per cent and 4.6 per cent.

Morgan coming out
ALP Primary vote at 54% !!!!!!
Highest Ever under Rudd
http://www.roymorgan.com/news/polls/2007/4217/
looks like it’ll be a phone poll.
Ruawake that still leaves open ads below 250,000 once again looks good but you look at it closer and it fails and who decides what rules the AG will use to determine what is in and whats out…
Pauline once again you have lost an argument for resorting to low based politics by name calling it doesnt serve your side of politics and demeans all those who agree with you i would cease your baseless attacks on me because it ads nothing to political debate and wastes Williams bandwidth.
are you sure? it is early and the site is crashing on me, I can’t confirm this. what does that make the 2pp?
Glen give it up, you have lost any semblance of credibility you ever had with that childish argument
omg I thought you meant 54% for TPP and I was stressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks goodness I re-read it, I feel much better, lol, what is TPP?
just from the title
“ALP Primary Vote (54%) At Highest Level Under Rudd”
usally get that first
http://www.roymorgan.com/news/polls/2007/4217/
The headline says:
ALP Primary Vote (54%) At Highest Level Under Rudd
That’s all we have for now, but details will soon follow.
TPP= Two Party Preferred.
Yes, Glen, pack it in. You’ll burst a poopher valve.
I guess my prediction about the Nat vote being on .5% was correct…lol!
tpp prolly something silly like 61:39
Wow!!! Incredible but it has made my day. Bet it won’t be reported.
Glen, I applaud you for your courage in coming here and commenting on bad polls. If it was Labor in this position, I’d stay very far away from blogs.
No it wont because it is probably rogue LV…i hardly think it will rate a mention aside from the fact it shows a trend of the ALP above the 55-45 mark…
@ 497 David Charles Says:
I am intrigued by your original statement and so I will rephrase my question.
Why would you expect a person’s adversaries to NOT misrepresent or mischaracterise that person?
New thread open, so can we please take it over there.
