We here at SDPolitics have argued that our public opinion polls are frequently marred by alarmingly jaundiced questions. We had no idea. Consider the following question from the Times of London. The numbers across indicate all voters, conservative, labour, liberal democrat, male, female, 18-29, 30-50, and 50+.
| When you see Tony Blair on television, do you think of him as: A grinning liar? | ||||||||||
| Yes, I do | 46% | 84% | 5% | 52% | 47% | 46% | 42% | 44% | 50% | |
| No, I do not | 42% | 11% | 86% | 35% | 44% | 40% | 43% | 45% | 38% | |
| Don't know | 12% | 6% | 9% | 14% | 9% | 15% | 15% | 11% | 12% | |
According to this same poll, Blair will win the election. Let there always be an England.
