Party graphs …
And today we have the graphs that compare the pollster’s predictions for each of the parties. The same house bias that has existed for some time appears evident in the latest graphs.
The ACNielsen set …
Still more graphs; this time from the laboratories of ACNielsen. Unfortunately, ACNielsen only started their monthly polling cycle in May, and there are not enough data points for a 7 term (or even a 5 term) Henderson moving average. I plan to use the 7 term average once I have enough data points.
More graphs …
Today’s graphs come from the house of Morgan. I have only captured the face to face polls in the following graphs. I will think about what I do with the irregular Morgan phone polls at another time.
Morgan’s Government Confidence Rating is a newish feature. It is calculated using the difference between the percentage of people who say the country is “going in the right direction” and the percentage who say the country is “going in seriously the wrong direction”, and then adding 100 to that difference.
First of the new graphs …
I have started work on the graphs for the new Parliamentary term. What follows is a selection of the Newspoll graphs. To get away from the false hysteria of two points up one week and two points down the next; I have made the Henderson smoothed moving average the focus of the graphs.
Maintenance
The feeds page has been fixed. It was broken for quite some time. Sorry about that. If your site is still broken, use the contact page to let me know. If you use the BDP-RSS-Aggregator plugin, you can get the latest version here.
I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.2; let me know if this has broken anything.
I will be doing some further generally tidying up before returning from my blog holiday.
